<div><font size="2" face="Arial">Hi all,</font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial"></font> </div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial">As you know, our New Perspectives Expo, graciously
sponsored by the Disability Support Services office at UNC, is fast approaching.
We would like to get a press release out to The Greeley Tribune and other local
papers as soon as possible. We can also use the narrative part of the release to
supplement with more of a description of the event to places where we have
already taken or sent flyers. </font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial"></font> </div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial">We're thinking of getting the release out to the
press by July 22nd at the earliest, so that we can hopefully get some coverage
at the event and draw a broader audience. It would be awesome if you all
could help compile a list of local papers to which we might send the release. It
would also be good if we could have one or two people take responsibility for
determining the appropriate address, (whether it be email or otherwise), at each
paper, where we should send the release as well as sending out releases. The
completed release is pasted below. Thank you.</font></div>
