TV Turnoff Week has been modified to include videos and computers - hence the name change to Turnoff Week. We have the opportunity to promote Turnoff Week again with materials that you may order free of charge: Get Active Be Healthybrochure is produced by Kaiser Permanente. This is the same 4-page brochure that was used last year, combining both English and Spanish in the same brochure. There is no date on this brochure so that you may also use it year-round. Kaiser Permanente has produced many materials and resources supporting this effort, which may be accessed at www.kp.org/tvturnoff You Have the Power: 5 Steps to Guide Your Child's TV Time which targets parents of preschool-aged children. It is a one-page flyer printed in English on one side and Spanish on the other, produced by the Nutrition Council of Oregon. There is no date on this flyer so it may also be used year round. If your organization would like to receive any of these materials to share with families and community partners let me know by April 1st. Please identify the quantity of the materials wanted and shipping address by sending an email to robin.w.Stanton at state.or.us. We will ship them to you immediately!
