- WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR YOUR MARRIAGE PSA

> Hello, 
> At the Smart Marriage Denver Conference 2007 you showed a PSA "What
> Have you done for your Marriage Lately?"  I believe it was from the Catholic
> organization.  Do you know the source/website info?
> 
> Cindy Lee Morita, LCSW
> Family Advocacy Outreach Manager
> Hickam Air Force Base Family Advocacy

That's right.  The PSA "What Have You Done For Your Marriage Today?"
developed by the National Catholic Bishop's organization was also shown at
the closing "Tools of the Trade" keynote in Denver. It was part of the
Catholic national campaign.  You can find the info at their website and even
watch the PSA at:
http://www.foryourmarriage.org.

Anyone that missed that keynote can watch it on DVD - tons of the latest
marriage tools and resources were shown with discussion about how to use
them in your community.  Order session 757-010 for $29.95 at 800-241-7785 ot

- CONFERENCE FLIERS?

Diane, 
Can you send me a stack of fliers for the San Francisco Conference? We're
having a training in two weeks and I could use 200 or so.
Tom 

I can send them but I'd rather you just print out the pdf and copy them and
send me the invoice from Kinko's - put them on a bright color.  Let me know
if that works for you.  If not, I'll mail them.  I'll share this with the
list in case anyone else can distribute fliers.

PRINT OUT THE FLIER PDF HERE:
