Thank you all..
...we have been following the guidelines the Metro section of the paper told us to follow; I even know a guy who writes for that section and without being too much of a pest I have called him to say hey we'd really appreciate seeing our little notice in thepaper, and we have followed up to ensure the notice was received (if it had not been delivered in person)and we have even called after we thought our notice would get published -- you know what they say? Oh there wasn't room, or something else came up or balh blah blah...we are still a baby group and are just starting to do more community wide events that might get some newspaper's notice -- we just delivered over 100 stuffed animals we'd collected to a nearby police department that uses them for it's Care Bear program -- e.g. when the police go on calls and kids are present, they get a stuffed animal to keep them from getting too upset...and then two days ago we just delivered two carloads of gently used, clean career clothes to our local womens' success network -- they create business wardrobes for abused and other women getting into the work force...
Sigh...I guess it will be as you suggest Sistermadly -- just keep on keepin on and being persistence -- we have only been at this for not quite two years....just a few more to go I guess till we get to print!!
I do like your suggestion too about getting together with the NPHC PR person for coffee to pick her brain! Thanks!
