Tabling at March forth on March 4^th

                This event took place in the free speech area and included many different aspects. In order to prepare for the event tables were put out and we also created boards and flyers to attract people to come to our table and interact with each group. Our board included the flyers that we created for the event and we also included different statistics on the board to catch people’s attention. Another thing that was incorporated within the event to attract people was food and drinks. The food and drinks did very well attracting people over to the area but not all of those who got food and drinks came to the tables. I think if the tables that contained the food and drinks were closer to the tables then more would stop by the tables and we would be able to attract more to the tables just by simply engaging them and possibly asking them questions. Another thing I feel that could have Improved the event would be to have advertised earlier. Chalking around campus would have helped and also flyers around campus so students could be aware of the event. More time decorating and creating our own boards and signs could also have been beneficial. A lot of the sign and board making were rushed and did not come out as well as they could have if we had started them earlier. While actually tabling and talking to students that were passing by I was able to actually see how it is to get involved and fight for a cause. Many that came up to the table were really interested in learning more about our cause and it made me feel good when they actually took the time to have discussions with our group about the issue. I believe the event went really well and many were able to learn more about important issues and how they can help within these issues.
