二代是吾师(7):生日礼物--扫街拜票

今天是Andrew的生日,却和Arnold一起敲门拜票了,还有比这更有趣的吗?

将 近一个半小时,走了20家,这个区房子大,间隔远。老公开车开始还一户户跟着,后来看到平均一家4分钟,原计划的开车停每一家不适合,很多还是徒步走。因 为豪宅的driveway 长,还真是要把来回走driveway 时间也算上。孩子们不让我跟着,我只能远远地站着。开始两家竖起耳朵听了些,两个孩子声音洪亮,语言流畅。结果是13家拿了flyers, 65% face to face reach。 孩子们把flyers 贴到另7家门上。

看到一家人站在外面,走过去被拒绝,孩子说以后只敲门。

走完一条街,发现漏掉一家,孩子们又折回去。表格有的在背面又重复同样的街道,俩孩子思考要不要为了一家返回。契而不舍的真谛在这体会到了。

Arnold昨天才知道今天是Andrew生日,最近全力助选没时间买东西,匆忙中只好拿了一盒巧克力饼干权作生日礼物。秋老虎非常厉害,大晌午顶着阳光在路上走了一小时后,俩孩子已经满头大汗,就直接把快化了的饼干拿出来开吃了!

他们还在协调等傍晚凉快些骑车去敲门。儿子一再说这回骑车妈妈就连远远地站着也不需要了。

很 多活动起来的孩子是我们ABC Club 成员( Megan Pan, Christine Cai, Christine Yang, Arnold; Andrew 一次活动有冲突不能来) ,看来多组织孩子讲话讨论,现在用上了。 Talk the talk, and walk the walk. 这是我们ABC Club另一组孩子妈妈的反馈"昨天下午Megan, Christine 和Sam用了一个多小时拜访了15家,9家有人在。大多数人都是客气地听他们讲完,然后说"Ok, I will keep it in mind".  有一家是Sam家的好朋友,回答非常肯定,说是一定会投给Jesse。看来还是找认识的管用啊。" 第三组孩子正在扫街,反馈以后再加。

他 们见机行事,大致是:hello, we are ... We'd like to introduce you to a board of ed candidate Jesse Liu, who has three kids in the schools and a lot of experience in the finance industry. He is also a fun loving dad who plays soccer. Here is his flyer with website and email.
1. Do you have any specific questions for Jesse? Write down their questions. 2. We'd certainly take your valuable input back to Jesse. 3. We can drop off more materials about Jesse's positions/visions/ to your mail box next month, and won't need to knock on your door. 4. Would you be interested in coffee meeting? Etc.


My son said one lady asked "why is Jesse better than the others." They answered :"Jesse advocates strong curriculum and smart spending, and he will be successful at that because he works in finance. "
