The second cookout

Because of the atrocious weather, Youth United won't actually be able to start building anything until June 4th. Since that is some time away, Youth United is trying to focus their current efforts on raising funds. In order to accomplish this, they held another cookout two days ago, again on a Saturday.

As with the first cookout, business was initially nonexistent. After setting up the tent where we would sell everything, there wasn't much to do. Not one to sit around doing nothing, I got one of the volunteers who had been present at the previous cookout, Janae, to help me with the infamous business of advertising. A sign was made, and we went down by the street.

Unlike last time, we did not get a line going, even when lunch time came. However, we did see a few signs that people might've been taken in by our advertising: suddenly slowing down turning around to come to the Habitat for Humanity headquarters, etc. We also seemed to get a lot of nasty stares. One person actually flicked us off, which signaled the end of our advertising efforts. After that, we returned to the cash register, where we did manage to get some business.
