My DONE deal

Many thanks to the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment for inviting me to speak (twice) at the Congress of Neighborhood Councils today at the Convention Center. I had a great time meeting everyone and discussing how councils can work with the media, and enjoyed hanging with my co-presenter Javier Angulo from NALEO. For those of you looking for the pages I showed on the laptop projector -- how to write a guest column, get your letter to the editor noticed, do press releases, etc. -- I've listed them here. Remember to watch out for the upcoming Neighborhood Councils blog, and keep contributing stories to ValleyNews.com.
