Street Team

Going out with the street team in our respective groups gave me a new appreciation for what we are doing. The neighborhood around the club has changed immensely, many of the residents believe that it has fallen to complete disarray. In addition to this, I realized how little of a community cohesiveness there is. I hope that this project at least brings people into 4100 club so that they see that there is a place they can go in the neighborhood that may have changed management but is still standing there as a testament of the old ways of the neighborhood. I believe in the end there will be a big turn out to this event despite the fact that we were turned down at many houses. The street team definitely did a good job no matter how little tickets were sold, at least we gave out flyers and got a sense of what the general attitude of the neighborhood was to what we are doing. We met a man who was 97 years old and many other people who have lived in the Brooklyn neighborhood their entire lives. Some of these people were extremely excited to see us do something like this because they know that the neighborhood has a long history, an undocumented history that we will be displaying at this event. 

My hope for this is that these people open their minds a little bit more, and that they may actually find hope in this project as a way to unite their community a little more.
