Dear [EA] Member, Would you like to do something special for Endometriosis Awareness Month? How about contacting your local media? If your local newspaper would like to run our PSA, we have a few slicks (camera ready public service announcements) available. We have some with quite a bit of text that are 6.75" by 8.5" and some with little text that are 4.5 x 6. If you contact your paper and they would like them, please let me know and I'll send it to the paper or to you. I also have it on disk that we could send electronically, if they prefer. We also have 30-second public service announcements for television. If you contact your local tv station, ask for the public service director and ask her/him if they would run it. Then ask if they'd like it in Beta, 1", or ¾" version. Let me know the station name, address, and which version, and I'll send it right to them. We also have radio scripts available for radio psa's. None of these have to be run only in March. The print psa's are good until July 1, 2002, and the radio and tv are good forever! Happy Endometriosis Awareness Month, and thanks for your membership! Be well, Fay Campbell Associate Director ************* Dear [EA] Member, Wow! Recently I asked members if they would contact their local media about Endometriosis Awareness Month, and the response was wonderful! Thanks to all of you who've contacted print, radio or television in your area. It's not too late to ask if they'd like to run our Public Service Announcements. The print PSAs we have are mainly for the screening program, which runs through June, but the radio and TV PSAs are always appropriate! Speaking of the screening program, we have many large placards with the "Killer Cramps?" picture and self-test on them that explains the free screening program. If you could place some in your community, let me know and I'll send as many as you want. They would work well in clinics, libraries, laundromats, shops, hair salons, schools, or where ever they will be seen by girls and women. Thank you so much for your help in getting the word out. I look forward to hearing from you. Fay Campbell Associate Director
