We have sent a copy of the following to local radio, newspapers and
Television stations. Gliderports across the nation can do something
similar. Gliderports often have a relationship with local media.
Google the name of your local newspaper, radio and TV stations and
send the news department person the following text:

"ABC TV's Good Morning America will feature news anchor, Kate Snow
taking her first glider flying lesson on Sunday morning, November 22
between 8 and 9 AM EST.

Millions of viewers will see Kate having a great time taking the
first
written test about the controls and their functions, being introduced
to the glider and then flying with her instructor, Doris Grove. "

Even if you don't make it in the media market, the news department
will possibly show up at your gliderport sometime in the future to do
a feature story on your local flying.
