I've just sent an e-mail to the lifestyle editor of a local paper. I included your e-mail (askmanny@tudiabetes.com), as well as a link to the press release. I'll see if I can find e-mails for some local TV stations, as well.

Can you forward the message you sent out to local stations to manny@tudiabetes.org?

The askmanny@tudiabetes.com address doesn't quite work the way you'd expect.

THX a lot for your help!

Hey Manny I know I said I would send you whatever I sent to the telivision statitions but well.....the computer outsmarted me again! LOL I contacted WBBJ-TV here in Jackson TN and am waiting to see if they think it's news worthy and call me back and contacted our local FOX station here too WTJXchannel 16 and am waiting for them to call back too. I put the address for the artical in the paper and your e-mail address if they had any more questions. Just wanted to let you know. Tomorrow I will contact my aunt in Memphis TN and see what she can do to help. Oh yeah I meant to ask you haw about our local radio stations? I can try them.ugh kinda well known locally b/c I had a pancres transplant and had to use all these outlets to raise money quite afew years back.

If any of you can contact a local newspaper to let them know about our community, that would rock.

You can direct them to the press release mentioned in the first post of this topic or to this other one:
http://www.prweb.com/releases/2007/11/prweb568677.htm

Both of them are accurate, except for the member count which is about to get to 1,600 as of today.
