You then must cart the table and one/two chairs to Red Square and set them up 4. Set up near the fountain if sunny or in front of Miller Market if its rainy

When talking to people or trying to:
 * Never** speak poorly of the administration, as they have been very helpful in this whole learning process. We are a positive group and want to keep that reputation : )

5. Make eye contact from a distance to draw people in 6. Try not to sound like you are selling something, we are more interested in peoples genuine support than getting them to sign something ignorantly 7. To hold peoples' attention, start by asking them a simple question "Have you heard about the Student run Food Coop? " "Have you heard of The Real Food Challenge?" 8. Only give food samples to those who listen and or participate in what ever you are doing NO treats for those not willing to listen 9. Get as many **emails** as possible - mention our **facebook** group to anyone and everyone! 10. These need to be returned when you are done tabling. Do not leave the table unattended.


 * We should try to have at least 2 people there at all times fielding questions, and especially at the hour marks during break**
