Publicity Volunteers Needed

We need publicity volunteers; we are looking for several volunteers to help to get the word out about our FxGS meetings, classes, SIG's and conference. With enough volunteers, it shouldn't take a lot of time to notify our local newspapers, national and local genealogical organizations, and the broadcast media. We need volunteers who can help with the write-ups, formatting, and distribution. If anyone wants to Chair this project that would be appreciated too.
