Cabatu asked if CSW wanted the essay winners to read their essays on the <br />radio or encourage the newspapers to print the winning essays. She will work on <br />getting the essays published in our newspapers. She will contact C. Kitaoka and <br />maybe issue a press release. K. Peters said maybe someone from the radio <br />station would be willing to announce the winners. <br />4. Mentoring <br />C.
