Promoting African American History Month with the Link

Message from NL Administration:

Good Morning,

During the month of February, Communications has asked that NL staff help to promoted African American History Month by offering a copy of the monthly newsletter, the link to customers at checkout.  As you offer it, you can also say something similar to the following:

·         I’d like to offer you a copy of our promotional publication, the link.
·         It includes information about a lot of services and programs, including our African American History Month programming on pages 4 and 5.

At the end of the month, Communications will ask for staff to return the unused copies of the newsletter.  NL Administration will also be asking for feedback from staff. 

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,


Laurie Covington
