Be on the lookout for Go Local Nebraska in the news!

A Go Local Nebraska press release was sent out by UNMC Public Affairs to news and media outlets across the state on Friday, March 30. We have heard from one Advisory Committee member that they are including the information included within the press release in their organzation's newsletter this month. Please consider adding information about Go Local Nebraska within your organization's newsletter and/or website. Remember to let us know where you publicized the Go Local Nebraska resource so that we can include the information in the quarterly reports.

We have exhibited Go Local at two area health fairs

Go Local Nebraska has been shown to Nebraska citizens during two recent health fairs: on March 26 at the Blair Community Health Fair in Blair, NE; and on March 31 at the Black Family Wellness Association Health Fair in Omaha, NE. Stuart Dayton, Head of the Learning Resource Center at McGoogan, designed a new display for 2007, and it received very favorable comments from those that attended each fair.
Health fairs are a great way to get the word out about the new Go Local Nebraska resource, offering an easy way to reach citizens that will use the resource as well as health professionals and organizations that should be listed within the resource.
Please let us know if you hear of a health fair in your area. No matter where the health fairs take place in Nebraska, we could send a display for you to use if you are exhibiting, or we could work with a local public library if they are going to exhibit health information.
