Ready to Succeed Newsletter Evaluation: January - June 2009

First 5 Placer County has asked us to perform another evaluation of our newsletter to answer questions required in the year-end state reporting forms. Our goal is to make our newsletter educational, informative, and useful. We greatly appreciate your time once again in this evaluation process!

If you receive your newsletter via postal delivery, please include the 3 digit code located on your mailing label.

If you receive your newsletter online, please include your mailing address with zip code. This information enables us to separate Placer County addresses from non-Placer County in our reports.

Please submit your opinions by July 27, 2009!

Thank you for your ongoing support of our program!
