I'VE SCANNED THE FORUMS, AND THIS IS THE ONLY ONE I FELT THAT WHAT I HAVE TO SAY FIT INTO. FIRST OF ALL, I'M SURE MANY OF YOU HAVE ALREADY DONE THIS, BUT JUST IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T HERE'S WHAT I'VE DONE 2 HELP SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT PTO, SINCE I HAVE BEEN ON HERE, I HAVE MADE NEW FRIENDS AND THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE WITH AN ANSWER TO MY SEEMINGLY NEVER ENDING QUESTIONS.
FIRST TO THE PEOPLE ON MY BUDDY LIST THAT I HAVE COME TO KNOW AND LOVE,(AND TRUST) I HAVE WRITTEN THEM A QUICK NOTE ABOUT MY SON AND INCLUDED THE PTO LINK AND ASK THEM TO PASS IT ALONG. EVERYONE I'VE SENT IT TO HAS E-MAILED ME BACK TELLING ME THAT THEY WOULD PASS IT ON TO THE PEOPLE ON THEIR LIST. ALSO, I'M ON AOL, AND DON'T KNOW HOW THE OTHER INTERNET SERVICES ARE, BUT I ASSUME THEY HAVE A PLACE FOR YOU TO PUT YOUR PERSONAL PROFILE. IN MY QUOTE AREA I GAVE A BRIEF OUTLINE OF PTO, AND A DIRECT LINK (U NEVER KNOW SOMEONE WHO REALLY NEEDS IT MAY RUN INTO IT) ANYWAY LIKE I SAID MOST OF YOU HAVE PROBABLY ALREADY THOUGHT OF THIS..BUT I THOUGHT I'D PASS ON THE SUGGESTION, SINCE THE PEOPLE ON PTO HAVE BEEN SO WONDERFUL TO ME...CARLA (ODIESMOM)

Great idea, those that have a Yahoo profile and/or ICQ, could do the same thing there.

Oh B-Ray, it's so little often, that I have a really good idea...Thanx 4 making me feel useful!!!

Odiesmom, that was a very good idea and I had not thought of that before. I ran an ad in Tattoo Magazine a few months ago for flash art and greeting cards. When I get the replies back requesting the free samples from inmates I always put in four or five greeting card also. Then it came to me why not tell them about PTO so they can have their loved ones join us. I am sitting on about 50 requests right now so when we get the newsletter I will send it to all of them. I am hoping they will pass the newsletter around so we can here back from even more folks.

Carla, we ALL have our turn with inputs that are usefull! One never knows what might "trigger" an idea and that's, what's great about an active group.

EXCELLENT IDEA OLDIES MOM! WAY TO GO!

I've been a "husband", and my GREATEST down fall, was not supporting my partners desires in many areas!
