So a main part of our week was our time spent at JCSU during freshman orientation. We were there Thursday and Friday from 7:30 am- 5:00 pm registering the new students to vote in Charlotte. We reached our 100 goal!! Erica and I had to hand paint signs that said “Sign Up Here To Vote! Be Part Of Our Community” and we were the only booth without at tent. At least they had free water for us and we got to eat in the cafeteria for free. It was really fun to see how excited the students were to register, especially the ones who were registering for the first time! They were really interested because Erica, being student body president, told them about the rides to the polls that the university was doing and explained how everyone was going to go vote together.
We are in the final stretch before our July 24th event and all the colleges but one have accepted our invitation to participate! We are making the final preparations to film the Public Service Announcement, arrange seating and speakers, and arrange food to be ordered. We have three days of phonebanking this week but I feel like we have met so many of our summer goals already! There is always something new for us to do, some new obstacle to overcome and in the end I feel our all our work this summer will be worth it!
Alannah & Erica– Charlotte!!
That’s great!! I love to hear about goals getting achieved… Onwards, Adam
Nice work ladies! It sounds like you’ve put in a lot of the groundwork for the event on the 24th so good luck!
