200+ (and counting!)

The funny thing about my body is that it hates being up late at night. If I stay up late -- midnight or later, usually -- I will wake up with a hangover, regardless of whether I've had anything to drink. Such is the case today, (no alcohol, raging headache) but at least this time it's completely worthwhile.

Last night was the University of North Carolina "Fall Fest." Its intended for all of the freshmen to have the opportunity to investigate all of the student organizations that are available on campus, and runs from 9 pm - 2 am. (I was there the whole time...) Literally thousands of students swarm over South Road on campus and provide the perfect opportunity to give them information on Chi Alpha Christian Fellowship.

Our general practice is to simply start up conversations with students as they walk by (while many did come directly to our table -- always encouraging). We'll give them a flier which explains some of the interesting points of Chi Alpha and then ask them if they want us to drop off a "goodie bag" the following day. Students love free stuff, and most are quite willing. So, we get their contact info and their dorm number and today we follow up.

We have over 200 students to follow up with. This promises to make for a long day -- but what an outstanding problem to have.
