Re: BOYD update

[Katie Pearson <katie@kimbercote.org>]

sounds great!  i'm happy to do some media outreach for BOYD, if there is
someone i can do it WITH.  

it's  a 10-12 hour job and with school and work, it's a bit much for me
to do alone right now.  

Is anyone interested in splitting the job with me?  Please let me
know.  

Also, has a press release already been written?  Kathie - are you
interestd in doing this?  You're so good at writing press releases.
I'll have to take a course from you for future events!

Katie
