Outreach coordinator Paul Spicer led a small team of veteran and new walkers in the first door-to-door effort of the season, designed to alert people to the upcoming campaign, and invite their participation as well as disseminate facts on the abortion issue. The outreach began in the morning around 9:30am, and continued with a short break for lunch until approximately 4:30pm. Locations covered included streets east of Taylor Run Parkway, quiet residential areas with many small houses.
While many people were not at home, resulting in information being left in or around their doorways, several spoke to walkers directly, expressing gratitude and interest in this information.
Materials distributed included the local 40 Days for Life campaign flyer, an invitation to the kickoff rally (to be held March 6), our signature pro-life supplement, and a brochure about a local CPC, the MaRiH Center.
Our next scheduled outreach opportunity will be this Saturday, beginning at 9:30am at the vigil site. If you have any questions or wish to join the walking group, email Paul.
We also have our first Sidewalk Counseling event scheduled for this Thursday at 9:30am at St. Lawrence Church. Email Sara for more details.
Finally, we have an interview published by Concerned Women for America which is up on their website for all their Virginia residents. Listen to the seven minute interview at http://www.cwfa.org/content.
