Mary,

Asking LLLI how they feel about being part of an Oprah show is certainly the
first step in a coordinated effort that would, indeed, be most efficient and
logical.  After the holidays I'll be happy to contact the conference
planning team at LLLI and see if they've already contacted Oprah about a
show and if not if the idea is appealing.  If a show focused on LLLI and bf
sounds good to LLLI I'll ask how we can help. Perhaps Gail would be able to
facilitate getting the LLLI contact and one of the two Oprah producers she
knows together! This could be the "foot-in-the-door" that is needed!

Happy holidays to all!
