Evangelization Team report on Chinese American Athletic Tournament on 7/22 - Kerching

Dear all,
Thanks be to God. Our booth did well and we had a lot of support.
I also want to thank Shang-Uh Huang, Dean Chen & Elisa Yao , TS & Florence Pan, Yu Chen, Cris & Angely Chen, Lisa Lee, Simon Liao, Lucy Chou, Joseph Ku, An Pung Yueh, and many Legion of Mary members for their time and effort.
Here is my brief report.
How did we do?
1. Our booth was quickly set up at 8am before most booths.
2. Our booth was easy to spot thanks to a 8ft x 2ft banner showing "Catholic Church" in Chinese and English.
3. The peak time was from 10am to 2pm.
4. More than 1000 bookmarks were given away.
5. Hundreds of SJCCC Monthly back issues were given away.
6. Legion of Mary gave away many Luke VCD's, Rosary, and various pamphlets.
7. Some of us went extra miles at engaging those who walked by our booth.
8. 10 guests left their contact information for follow-up.
9. At least a total of 15 ET supporters and 7 LOM members came to help.
10. We left around 3pm after most visitors were gone.
What did others do?
1. Tzu Chi was one of the most organized one and had a booth 4x of ours.
1. Most organizations had some kind of uniform.
2. Bigger booth with rest area for visitors helped engagement.
3. Posters were used to demonstrate details of their organizations.
What can we improve at Chinese American Athletic Federation in Union City on 8/11 and 8/12?
(This is expected to be a much bigger event than the one on 7/22.)
1. Uniform for our team
2. Orientation for our team
3. Recruit Homeland group members to help
4. Invite Fremont community to join the effort
5. Bigger booth?
Please kindly let me know if I miss anything or if you have any feedback for us.
By God's grace, we have the opportunity to serve Him and His people.
May the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit lead every single step of what we do.
In Christ,
Kerching
