Saturday, March 31st, there will be small, targeted run of this survey
as a first phase.
Noon. 1-3pm
It will begin with an orientation at noon at the IMC.
We will go door-to-door in pairs, targeting a few different
neighborhoods in Districts 7 and 5.* Volunteers will disperse to
conduct the survey between 1-3pm, and some folks will return to the

what we do on the 31st.
