On Saturday morning, Hayley, Nailah, and I went and did a walk through in Brooklyn, we handed out flyers and talked with the residents about the event. We got a lot of positive feed back from people, we even had men at the feed store donate to us (not much but very welcomed!). We talked with a man who might have another possible local performer for us! We also sold one ticket!
While on our adventure we met a nice guy named Earl in the flower shop, I do not want to assume anything but he came across as having special needs. Hayley, Nailah, and I were thinking if the class members all put one dollar up and bought him a ticket to our event he would love it! Also, it may help show the community that we are indeed not just there to get a grade but to actually work with the community for their benefit.
At this point in time I have a feeling that we might not sell very many paper tickets but we will have many community members show up the day of the event. I would like to go around after class on the 21st to businesses that are not located directly on the main street to post more flyers and talk with more people.
If we are given the Ok to clean up the side yard of the PHH (Which should take less then an hour) I was wondering if anyone would like to help me with that.
For now, it's back to the spreadsheets!!!
