Order Your Yard Signs Now
Child Abuse Prevention Month yard signs will be two-sided (as shown below), and you can order yard signs at this link. Deadline for ordering is February 28, 2011.
Posters Accompany Yard Signs. Give Your Input!
The brief message of the yard signs makes people wonder how do we help children and how does helping children help us all? AND what can we do? To answer these questions, we are also creating printable posters (sample shown here) available for April that our partners throughout the state can post everywhere. We want your ideas for printable posters! Send them to Priscilla Bennett at pbennett@pcamn.org. What would you like your poster to say? |
| Nominate Your County or Tribe for a Blue Ribbon Award |
|
At our annual conference each year, PCAMN gives out Blue Ribbon County/Tribe awards to counties and tribes that have consistently worked to create safe and healthy environments for their families and children. Counties and tribes can win a Blue Ribbon Award each year. Would you like to nominate your county?
