[LM_NET] SHARE: TV Turn-Off Week

[Kaline Goodrich <kaline369@YAHOO.COM>]

Wow!  What a great week I have just had.  Even though
the State of Maine was not officially doing TV
Turn-Off Week this year, I went ahead with my
activities.  We had something special going on every
night after school to provide an alternative to
watching TV.  It is the first time I had ever done
anything like this and I wasn't sure how it would go
over in the community.  I had hopes that is would be
successful, but it exceeded my wildest expectations.
We had over 100 people come every night but one, and
one of the nights saw more that 400 attendees.  Our
five nights were:  a potluck supper, board games, an
open house art show with ice cream social (yup, that
was our big night), an author presentation, and a book
swap.  I got nothing but compliments all week from
staff, students, and parents.  We even had a local
news station stop by one night.  I can't wait until
next year to do it again.  Sorry for going on so long,
but I just had to share.
