Service Hours - Blog #2


The day before the election, November 3rd, Danielle and I got together to go canvassing again. I’m not really sure if it would be called "canvassing," but we went door-to-door again only this time we simply had to hang a little sign on the doors to remind voters their local polling place (and to vote). I was a lot more relaxed because of the experience I got from canvassing on Saturday, we wouldn’t have to talk much to the people, and that Danielle was with me. We went over to Sydney Kudeviz’s house where her mom was volunteering as a site coordinator (and where it was a lot less crowed and hectic). She gave us a packet full of the hanger-things and a folder with more lists of people and addresses. Then we headed back behind the school to devise a canvassing route. We moved pretty fast because we were only hanging the things, and it was nice. I noticed that most of the households consisted of forty- or thirty-year-olds. And I also noticed how a couple of the doors had “No Soliciting” signs on them…but we still put the signs up…Oh well.
