Hello,
A couple of weeks ago, I put a request for help on Janice's Blog for volunteers to send the CASI press release to newspapers in their local area - as we know, some cities have smaller papers often looking for items to put in. Only one person from North Texas responded. Really kinda sad in a way.
Roger and I will start getting them out -
David Richardson is sending out the radio Spot announcements to over 100 stations in New Mexico and in Texas as he has done for the past two years - This is a lot of work so do thank him when you see him at TICC.
I have been sending out the military spot announcements and press releases to citdies/towns around military bases located in New Mexico and West Texas. Also sent the press release to some American Legions, VFW and Elks lodges around military bases in Texas/New Mexico.
