SUWS VIDEO ON INTERNET
The Save Our Streets film clip on SUWS, a wilderness program in Idaho, 888-879-7897, is now available on the Woodbury Reports home page, http://woodbury.com. “Both audio and video are becoming important forces in getting one`s message out,” says Bob Kirkpatrick, Woodbury Report`s
Network Administrator. “We`re moving slowly, offering an audio snippet on the first page, and adding full-motion video and full stereo sound to a multimedia page. We hope that people will click on the mail buttons and tell us what they think --and what they`d like to see and hear.”
Reports Online is only starting with the SUWS video, and has a number of informational videos slated for broadcast to “probe the best ways to get information distributed to the people needing it.
DINNER THEATRE AT DESISTO
The DeSisto School, 413-298-3776, in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, will be presenting “Dinner Theatre At The Mansion” in July and August of 1997. Part of “The Berkshires’ original Dinner Theatre”, now in its 11th year, the July presentation is EUBIE!, a “Broadway Revue of the Music

KIDS INC. FEATURED BY NEWSPAPER
Steve Kramer, founder of Kids Inc. in Spokane, Washington, 509-448-2290, received Spokesman-Review coverage on June 8, 1997. Columnist Doug Clark wrote “Surrogate dad`s on a mission to do the right thing” in a favorable article entitled “The tough love at Kids Inc. Paying dividends.”
Clark points out that Kids Inc. “Isn’t licensed through any state agency. Kramer relies on a 1995 law allowing neighbors and friends to privately care for a child on a 24-hour basis.” The State of Washington is setting up to challenge Kramer’s interpretation. But in discussing the
results he saw among the boys at Kids Inc., Clark says “But if Josh is an example, Kramer’s methods are worth the cost.”
