DRAFT of "February DVS Outreaches" press release

Hi Maddy & Chris--

Attached is a press release we’d like to send…outlining upcoming (February) outreach stops by DVS staff. These are monthly stops we do in outlying/rural areas. Veterans can simply stop by to ask questions…or we can help them file claims right there.

There are two ways I could do this:

I can send this to all media outlets…and let them cherry-pick the locations in their coverage area

I can modify this to creat a dozen or so separate-but-targeted releases…to target specific newspapers/radio…and send to each one

I’d like to be able to start sending approved versions by Monday—because many of these newpapers are weeklies that publish Wednesdays or Thursdays.

Thanks.

Respectfully,

Ray Seva
