[blparent] the books

[Brandy W]

O.K. Now as a group we need to decide what categories we want, and have
people send the clips to me. Media doesn't email well. I can ask a friend
how to use drop box, and we could upload them there, or people could
actually mail me the DVDs. Then we can have a conference call to talk about
the clips we receive and what we want to keep and what we want edited out.
How long do we want this documentary to be? Dio we want text with facts and
what we are doing in text or spoken or both? We have lots to do. I propose
we have a core group of us have a conference call to discuss this kind of
stuff. Then we can put out calls for people to email us their clips with
some basic information to include. This will be fun and so useful!

>>>>> approach.
>>>>> some agencies have "learning lunches," or "in service days," or time

>>>>> We have not scheduled a presentation yet.
>>>>> But, at our convention in October, we talked about it and are planning
>>>>> to do
>>>>> an awareness campaign whereby a few (or pannel) of parents get 
>>>>> together
>>>>> to
>>>>> do presentations and such.
>>>>> We have even decided to target social work schools (maybe a
>>>>> presentation
>>
>>>>> to
>>>>> the Child Welfare class) and the Attorneys in a "family law class."
>>>>> If you present it as if:
>>>>> you have some information that will be useful to them.
>>>>> It will broaden their knowledge

>>>>> then, you aren't being confrontational at all.
>>>>> And, the book is straight forward and respectful of professionals.
