Veg*n Outreach at Now & Zen Festival at Golden Gate Park Sun. Sept 17th

[Guest guest]

Now & Zen is a very large annual concert with some big name

musicians in Golden Gate Park. It attracts over 40,000 people, many

of which are in the best demographics likely to adopti a veg

lifestyle. The first band takes the stage at noon and the last band

at 4pm and the doors open at 11am. Many people actually camp out for

better seats, so we can expect loads of people there before 11am

(with lots of time on their hand until noon to read any material

that comes their way). I may bring a little table to place

literature on, but more than likely will just bring lots of boxes fo

Veggie starter guides and Why Vegetarians. People can feel free to

pass out guides for a while, sit down and listen to the music (or

enjoy the park) and come back and pass out more again latter. There

is another bayveg event in SF at 2:30pm and I will try to attend

that. However, if someone wants to continue there and pass out

guides to people as they leave, that would also be great! My cell

phone number is 415-962-0753 if you want to reach me the day of the

event. Email me at anessel if you want more info or want

to pencil in a time to pass out guides.

 

Note: cars are not allowed in most of the park on Saturdays.

 

This is a great opportunity to reach lots of people in a very short

amount of time who have some down-time for free reading (right after

they get their new veggie starter guides).

Just wanted to add, Ari also organized the outreach at the Stern Grove music

concert series. I heard from several who participated that they enjoyed it,

and felt it was a good use of time. This is a great activity for new &

experienced advocates, and no previous experience is necessary.

 

But if you feel shy or uncomfortable about doing outreach, or not sure what

to say, then you should plan to come to Nora's presentation (same day as the

outreach, but later in the day) to learn more about effective communication.

 

 

Here's the details for that event:
