To let Ivan and other states know, you can add KANSAS to those who are proclaiming April as PD Awareness Month. The official version is on the way. STEPS I TOOK: 1. Called Governors office and asked to speak to person who could tell me the proper procedures. We had a very pleasant conversation. 2. She faxed me the procedures and a sample Proclamation. 3. Using the Maine model, I amended and added new clauses to reflect our situation in Kansas. I then faxed this with a respectful cover letter to the same aide. Also, Jack Savely in Topeka sent a supporting appeal which I referenced. 4. Two days later I called this aide, and she informed me that they had approved the Proclamation and would be sending an official Proclamation shortly. MISSOURI folks, why haven't we heard from you? Those coming to the Greater Kansas City symposium on April 24, do you really want the Kanas proclamation announced with "nada" from Missouri? Likewise, any publicity we might engender? Governors like to hear from their state's residents. Throwing down the gauntlet from Merriam, Kansas, Barbara Blake-Krebs [log in to unmask]
