To all,

Even though the groundhog Puxtawney Phil tells us we will have six more
weeks of winter*, it's not too early to begin to think about how you can
participate in Health Literacy Month this October.

A number of people have recently contacted me asking about HLMonth 2002. I'm
just beginning to brainstorm ideas for this year and would like to start by
creating a planning committee. Please contact me by e-mail at
helen@healthliteracy.com or by phone at 508-653-1199 if you would like to be
a part of this committee.

I am specifically looking for volunteers with ideas, enthusiasm, some time
(how much is up to you), and ideally access to resources (financial and
otherwise). As HLMonth has a budget of $0.00, I expect that nearly all of
our meetings will be via e-mail or over the phone.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with Health Literacy Month, I encourage
you to visit the Health Literacy Month Web site at
www.healthliteracymonth.com

Working together, we can make a difference,
~Helen

*February 2 was Groundhog's Day in the US. Tradition has it that if the
groundhog comes out of his hole in the ground and sees his shadow, we will
have six more weeks of winter. He saw his shadow.
