You can help and here are some ways to do this.
1. Get your mayor to sign a proclamation for NAWeek, invite NAs and the local newspaper to the signing
2. Enter the NA Authors contest - spelling and punctuation are not important - we need your ideas.
3. Plan an award party in your facility or area
4. Plan to celebrate NA Week - lots of good ideas on this web site at no cost. You also can order a Planning Guide for $12.00.
5. Select one of the projects for the year to carry out in your own facility.
6. sumbit names of your NAs who have 20 or more years of service to the National Twenty Year Club - nice prizes and helps us to tell the story about NAs who choose caring as a career.

Other ideas?
