There will be press conferences in early June regarding the launching of 
the 2-1-1 24/7 information and referral service in Pinellas and Hillsborough 
counties. At a regional Task Force meeting today the marketing committee 
reported on the various ideas they'd come up with for getting the word out.
LIBRARIES were not even on their list of possible partners. I suggested that 
they include libraries in their marketing plans.
   2-1-1 will also be the "first call" for volunteers. This is moving fast.
Brevard will be coming on line later this spring as well.
