First, thanks for your efforts on Oregon PGAW....we hope your plans for this week will go smoothly! Coordinating awareness activities is really an ongoing effort, so we hope that the OPGAW information and resources will serve you throughout the year. As always, don't hesitate to ask if you need more help or support along the way!

By now you should have received the OPGAW '07 resource guide, both as a CD and hard copy. If you did not receive one, let me know and in the meantime you can go to our website and find it at:

The first of two press releases on problem gambling went out today; here is a link to the first one, which features the new moderation messages from the Lottery: http://egov.oregon.gov/DHS/news/2007news/2007-0305.shtml

The next press release will highlight the Oregon Healthy Teens data on gambling and we'll let you know as soon as that one goes out.

Thanks for all you do!!
