Four of our team were in Los Angeles to promote the NLSC at the 6th Annual Thai New Year Songkran Festival on Hollywood Boulevard. We set up a booth near one of the stages, spoke with many people, distributed brochures and business cards. At one point, Ben Komenkul, President of the Thai Association of Southern California, and NLSC staff got up on one of the stages to announce the NLSC and invite everyone to visit our booth, in English AND Thai, which was very cool. Mr. Komenkul is undoubtedly one of the best connected community leaders in Thai Town, and is very excited about our organizations. He referred us to some Thai newspapers (Asia Pacific, Serechai, Siam Media, Thai LA, Khaosod, and Thai Town) and provided us with some valuable feedback about our application and our Thai print brochure.
As a bonus ... the event was held near LA's Little Armenia, so quite a few Russian speakers came by. Staffer Bonnie surprised them by speaking to them in Russian, and several filled out our contact cards.
