Re: Get Your Garden in the News! encouragement

Hi, All--

Thanks to Rick Bacigalupi for the opportunity (excuse!) to connect with our local PBS stations and promo our individual programs as the local manifestation of his more general/San Francisco presentation! He's provided a wonderful model letter for us to fill in the blanks with our own program emphasis and specifics. One word I'd change is at the end of the first paragraph--"The film is ESPECIALLY appropriate for programming around Earth Day, April 22nd."

My time is always so tight, dealing with specifics of our program, that I often put off doing much public relations work. But Rick has provided such an easy mode of "fill in the blanks" and the specific contact info at my local PBS station, that I can quickly get this out!

I urge everyone to take advantage of Rick's having done the basic work to help each of us get out the word about each of our precious community gardens and gardeners!

Ciao for now.
