Running in the snow

by Chris Kesler—Minnesota

I was out canvassing on a particularly cold evening and was having little luck finding anyone who was home. I finally happened across a gentleman that had two small children running around and was somewhat skeptical of what I was doing. I convinced him to take a minute to let me in and I explained to him how Working America was started and the various activities that we engaged in to fight for workers. He was impressed and signed on as a dues-paying member. I continued on around the cul de sac and to my surprise saw someone running toward me in the snow. It was the gentleman who had signed up, he found the mail-in card inside the pamphlet that I had given him. He wanted to make sure he was a member and did not need to send in the card. I was inspiring to me that he was so concerned that he might not be a member of our organization he ran out in the snow to make sure.
