Kids’ Plates Grantee Newsletter
Welcome! It
was great to meet and talk with you at the 16th Annual California Conference on Childhood Injury
Control.
Although your Kids’ Plates program has recently begun,
please keep these important things in mind:
1) By now, you should have received your Kids’ Plates
contract, signed it and sent it back. If not, please do so ASAP. We cannot
reimburse you for any Kids’ Plates program-related expenses without a fully
executed contract in place.
2) Remember all invoices must carry an original signature
and date, and must be mailed. Faxes/emails cannot be accepted.
3) If you need any marketing-related technical assistance
please contact Jon Akana from Hopcraft Communications at 916-457-5546 or email
him at jon@hopcraft.com. Please do not
leave marketing obligations until the last minute. It takes time and effort to
do marketing well.
4) Be sure to mark your calendar for the mandatory Kids’
Plate meeting which will be held in Sacramento on Tuesday, January 14, 2003
(details will be mailed out soon).
As always, I am happy to help you in any way that I can.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns about your
program activities, the funding process, technical assistance, or ?. You can
reach me at sholland@projects.sdsu.edu
or 619-594-5039.
