Hey everyone! I was just curious as to what everyone will be doing during Awareness Week... trying to get more ideas, actually.
We are starting off on the first day with a potluck gathering and I am hoping to get everyone motivated to go through the week and continue to share their knowledge of BPIs and educate as many people as possible.
I know weekdays can be especially busy (they are for us) so if anyone has any helpful ideas, please share.

Thanks!

So this week I e-mailed all my family and friends in my contacts with all available brochures, I gave info to my hand Dr., I took info to the library in the children's section where they have resources for parents, and they want more. So I'm printing off more for them to keep.

And I'm not done yet.

This is fun! I like getting the word out there.
