Great Message, No Audience

Last night was my first financial aid event! I organized it with the YMCA in Evanston, and much to my dismay, no one showed up. I blame myself mostly for not publicizing the event well enough; however, my contact at the Y invited an exclusive group of students for this event in particular.

On the same day, I got an email from my colleague working in the Joliet area. She was inviting the rest of the Corps members working outside of Chicago to attend her event that she is expecting will have a turn out around 500 students and their parents.

I remember the day that I found out I was working in one of the most affluent areas in the state. I almost started crying on the spot. Not that I didn't want to do the work anymore, it was just that I knew my region would not need very much help.

Just have to keep trying I suppose...
