Club 4100 week

This past week for Club 4100 week I thought went pretty well. I went on thursday and went from 11:00-12:20pm. There were a good amount of us there helping us and the bake sell was a good idea. I went around talking to people that I didn't know and even there was a guy who helped advertise out event. He had bought a brownie and loved it! It was so funny seeing him tell people how delicious they were. Nick had his bull horn , which added more excitement to the moment. In addition, I felt like I had to push myself to come up to people that I didn't know. There was a group of people praying ,which I thought was amazing. I decided to go up to them and pray. Afterwards I introduced myself and I told them about our big community event. Some came over and bought cookies and took broshores. There were a few people thatI felt that did help to contribute well to the community event. Meaning, those that came to buy baked goods and take flyers. It was fun getting to know other people. Nick and I went over to a science class and told them to come over to our table. None of them came over, because they were emorsed in there class. I jsut wish that there wasn't so much competition that day, especially since the carneval was going on at the same time. I guess that is the way that it goes. I am sure that our event will be a success and I am still trying to sell five tickets as soon as I can. It is difficult to do so.

Club 4100 Week!

Ok, well the street teams outing this past Sunday, was not a complete failure. We talked to a few people who were interested. Dispite the rain we went out and did the best that we could. Thank you to Patrick, Alex, and Hillman for conquering the nasty rain. We were able to go to I believe four streets and it was a challenge, because not many people were home. I remember this one rude lady slamming the door in our face. It was to be expected, but that was the first time that has happen on the street where I have witnessed it. At the beginning Hilman and I were partners and Alex and Patrick were partners. Hilman was reall aggressive when it came to our event. I kept telling him to make sure that they know that the proceeds fo back into Brooklyn. He was so hyped up and excited I guess, lol. Anyhow, I was proud of him for stepping up and not being scared. In addition, there was a lady that was interested, but she wasnted to make sure that the club was going to be back to the way things used to be. I think she meant having the old owners. People are funny and so set on their old ways and are so guarded these days about new people. I remember Himan and I asking later, "did she mean wanting the old owners, or haivng the club go back to its glory days?" Deep down we new what it meant.
Later, we switiched partners, I went with Patrick and we didn't have much luck. I recall Alex and Hilman saying that there was someone that was definately interested in going , but was afraid toe buy a ticket, which is understandable. Hence, we all kept on going and ran into people that were either too old to go to events outside or didn't have the funds period. I felt a sense of sympathy for them , but it comes with the territory of asking for money for anything regardless of the intent behind it. It was an ok time, I just wish it was more profitable. I hope that this week during the Club4100 table selling week will be a great success! I will be there Wednesday at 11am!
