• • It seems an effective location for tabling according to my "remote" observations.

  • The banner did draw people's attention, though we might not have the best location. We had the delima of choosing one direction over the other.

    • It should be fine once we have the placard (plaque; in order) to cover the opposite direction.

  • Survey does not work with people walking around, better for those sitting down, not busy. There are some 10 benches/tables around in the square before the library for people to sit down.

  • For me, there people were quite willing to take the tracts (10+ out, only 2 rejects).

  • On a weekend like we did, the proper team size for the library may be just 4-6: 2-3 at the table; 1-2 pairs ("runners") reaching people with survey or tracts.

  • On weekdays, there should be more traffic, more people sitting/waiting in the city center opposite to the library. It may be good for another banner set with one more pair of runners (+ 3-4). We were told the restaurant on the other side of the street also has good traffic during lunch hours.

    • Good to scout it out (I can if I get to sneak out of work the coming Thursday as we are done with De Anza College for the quarter.)

  • Need checklists of things to bring. We forgot the sandbags for the banner stands.

  • Need to plan out the collection of stats: #bibles/tracts/surveys, #contacts and recording their info for follow up ... etc.

    • Brother David shared with us the practice by some saints in Fremont. They logged for each going out: (1) #contacts (handing out a tract counts) (2) #talking w/ us (3) #to follow up, in addition to other info like #minutes (some short 15 minutes ones), # of saints etc.
