I do not know if everyone got this from David Andrews.
But I think this is important to our division, we need to get out and let people know we are here

> Writers’ Division Announces New Resource
> for Affiliates, Divisions, Groups & Chapters
>
> As Federationists changing what it means to be
> blind, we all have important stories – stories
> that the sighted public and the not-yet-blind
> need to hear. We can share them simply by living
> our lives or by speaking to groups, but to get
> wider coverage, we need to engage the media.
> Getting press attention, however, is often
> considered a daunting prospect by those with no
> public relations experience. That is, until now.
>
> The NFB Writers’ Division is pleased to announce
> its new “Guide to Writing Press Releases,” a
> free, step-by-step tutorial on getting press
> attention. Designed by volunteer NFB publicist
> Donna W. Hill in consultation with other Writers’
> Division members, it is geared to
> nonprofessionals who want to make a difference.
> Learn how to recognize a news-worthy story, what
> the media is looking for and how to give it to
> them. Read examples of press releases that led to
> media coverage. Download a template for creating
> a standard document that you can store and re use.
>
> Come experience this light-hearted, inspiring and educational resource at:
> http://www.nfb-writers-division.net/education_station/press_release_guide.cfm

> For further information about the creation of
> this resource, check out “Wing’s for Our Stories”

> Braille Monitor editor Gary Wonder, in the intro
> to Donna’s article, says, “Every affiliate should
> be lucky enough to have a member who makes sure
> that the media are well aware of the good work being done by Federationists.”
>
> We at the Writers’ Division welcome your feedback
> and questions. And, don't forget to share your successes!
