I've included a link to the news release here: http://www.ketchum.com/Kelley_Skoloda_Too_Busy_to_Shop_news_release.

The book is generating a good deal of interest and I'll be doing interviews with the New York Times, ForbesWoman, PRWeek and others. The book tour kicks off next week in New York and then to Dallas, Chicago and San Francisco. The schedule is available at www.kelleymurrayskoloda.com

Help wipe polio off the face of the earth by supporting Rotary District
7330's End Polio Now Power Walk, which will be held Sunday, April 19, at
Consol Energy Park near Washington.

End Polio Now 2009 T-shirts are available for a donation of $10. They come
in four sizes: medium, large, X-large and XX-large. The shirts are red and
bear the Rotary logo with the message " End Polio Now 2009."

If you'd like to get a healthy workout, stop by the stadium on April 19 and
support the cause! T-shirts will be available at the site, along with
refreshments, entertainment and more information about Rotary
International's efforts to end polio.

Although most Americans have not been susceptible to the crippling disease
since a successful vaccine was developed in the 1950s, the poliovirus still
is active in four countries: Afghanistan, Ethiopia, India and Pakistan. As
long as the virus still exists, children throughout the world still must be
vaccinated.
