I’ve been on the road for the last two weeks signing up new ONE members at music festivals in New Hampshire and upstate New York. First up was SoulFest in New Hampshire, where we got drenched for two days straight and I ruined two pairs of shoes in what became a giant mud pit. But it was definitely worth it for the more than 1,000 new ONE members we signed up. SoulFest wrapped up at midnight Saturday night and we immediately set out for Kingdom Bound in upstate New York, about an 8 hour drive away. We arrived early in the morning and set the booth, and I’ve never been more happy to see the ONE booth set-up on concrete as I was after the mud pit we just left (though when it wasn’t raining, NH was gorgeous). At Kingdom Bound, ONE signed up another 1,000+ new members. All in all, a great experience and I’m very happy to be back in ONE’s DC office (mud and bug-free!).
