On September 7, 2005, the Postal Service will issue
the Child Health stamp at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
in Pennsylvania. The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia was the first
hospital to devote its practices exclusively to children and is celebrating
its 150th anniversary this year. Child magazine has named the
hospital the "best pediatric hospital in the United States"
for three consecutive years and for the last two years, US News &
World Report magazine's guide to "America's Best Hospitals"
ranked it the best hospital for children in the United States.
The stamp will be available nationwide on September
7. Events can be held on that day and throughout the rest of the year.
Local and national publicity will help raise awareness
of the importance and seriousness of protecting children's health. More
importantly, this awareness will underline the important message that
all children deserve adequate health care.
Here are some methods to capture media attention:
The first-day-of-issue event will take place September
7. It will feature Alan C. Kessler, vice chairman of the US Postal Service
Board of Governors; Stephen Aleschuler, president of The Children's Hospital
of Philadelphia; Billy Gilman, country music singer and National Youth
chairman of the Muscular Dystrophy Association; congressional leaders,
medical officers, and others.
Members of Congress, physicians, and the medical
community will be interested in this stamp and the events surrounding
it.
Because this stamp has significant national importance,
it is a good idea to contact your Postal Service Government Relations
representative for guidance in involving elected officials when planning
your event. (See page 27 for the list of Government Relations contacts.)
Your area Public Affairs & Communications representatives
are available and ready to assist you in generating publicity for your
events. (See page 26 for the list of Area Public Affairs and Communications
managers.)
There are many ways to interest local media in your
Child Health dedication stamp events. Following are some suggestions
to capture media attention.
• Have a month-long child health celebration
involving employees and their families, school children, medical professionals,
and congressional, civic, and community leaders. Involve those people
in helping to spread the word of the importance of child health by offering
information that could either be in Post OfficeTM lobbies or at stamp
events, libraries, schools, parks, or community centers throughout the
month. Highlight a different health theme every week of the month.
• Host child health and prevention days throughout
the month. For each week's theme, offer advice and screenings for children
and their parents.
- "Car seats each time" -
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) can help set
up a Child Passenger Safety Inspection Station. Parents can have their
child's safety seat inspected and learn the importance of always using
car seats.
- "Regular medical checkups"
- Contact hospitals and members of the local medical community. Have information
available that describes why medical checkups are necessary.
- "Balanced diet and exercise"
- Invite local athletes to stress the importance of exercise. Have dietitians
and nutritionists available to offer advice on healthy eating habits.
Offer handouts with healthy recipes and exercise activities.
- "Caring for our Future"
- Partner the Maternal and Child Health director and Children with Special
Health Care Needs director in your state (See page 20.) for information
sessions on the importance of education and healthcare.
• Check with local broadcast and cable television
stations that may regularly host a medical awareness, fitness, or health
information program to see if they are interested in covering your event
or if they would consider inviting event participants on the program.
• Give presentations to local schools, libraries,
the YMCA, clubs, and community organizations such as the Scouts and the
Rotary Club. Go to: https://performance.hrsa.gov/mchb/mchreports/snapshots/snapShot.asp
for statistics and facts by state.
• Health fairs and events that take place in
the community would be exceptional locations to hold an event.
• Make your event fun for children and families.
Have clowns, balloons, magicians, family activities, and games.
• Help after-school programs set up stamp collecting
clubs and share information on how to stay healthy. Ask a local stamp
collector to set up a display of stamp collecting tools and philatelic
materials, such as tongs, magnifier, perforation gauge, albums, first-
day covers, and so on. Go online to the American Philatelic Society's
Web site at www.stamps.org to find local chapters and affiliates
that might be willing to help.
• A simple stamp dedication in your Post Office
lobby is always a great way to generate publicity for the Child Health
stamp and the Postal Service's educational stamp program.
Implement any of these ideas, combine them, or brainstorm
with your employees and come up with ideas of your own. Using the publicity
materials in this kit, be sure to publicize each and every event to your
local newspaper and radio and television stations via press releases,
media advisories, and letters to the media. Don't forget to make follow-up
telephone calls.
When planning the Child Health stamp events,
keep the following suggestions in mind:
• Begin planning immediately.
• Contact your nearest hospitals, local health
department, community centers, or other healthcare-related organizations
to see if they can participate in the Child Health stamp event
in your city.
• Set a date.
• Secure participants.
• Order enlargements of the stamp image, flyers,
and other supplies for the event.
• Prepare a special pictorial postmark, if
applicable. (See announcement form on page 6.)
• Secure staging and sound equipment, if applicable.
• Plan signage, including a podium sign and
banners.
• Launch a local publicity campaign using the
materials in this kit.
• Draft a sequence-of-events agenda and speaker
remarks.
• Plan retail opportunities (booth, bag stuffers,
etc.)
• Prepare ceremony programs and invitations.
Pictorial postmarks have not been produced at the
national level, but Post Offices planning events may design their own
special pictorial postmark. As a reminder, the Postal Service must endeavor
to make all unusual postmarking services widely known to collectors through
advance publicity to avoid limiting the availability of these postmarks.
Therefore, all pictorial cancellations must be reported to Stamp Development
3 weeks prior to local events. Please use the announcement form on page
6 to report your use of a cancellation.
To finalize the Child Health stamp pictorial
postmark art, insert the date, city, state, and ZIP CodeTM of the physical
location of your event adjacent to the stamp image. Overall dimensions
of the pictorial cancellation must not exceed 4 inches horizontally by
2 inches vertically. Collectors prefer the dimensions 3 1/2 inches by
1 inch.
Second-day postmarks are pictorial postmarks and
follow the same guidelines as above. The word Station or the
abbreviation STA is required somewhere in the design, since it
will be a temporary station.

The issuance of the Child Health commemorative stamp
offers a perfect opportunity to involve elected public officials
in an important and positive local event. They are likely to
have a keen interest in the event, as it provides a chance to
interact with constituents in a friendly civic setting with
secured media coverage.
You are encouraged to reach out directly to your federal,
state, and local officials. Government Relations representatives are available to assist you in coordinating their involvement and would be pleased to help in any way. Please
contact them for guidance.
This Publicity Kit contains simple guidelines, sample letters, a suggested invitation list, and the names and telephone numbers of your Government Relations contacts.
• Send a written invitation four to six weeks before
the event to your two US Senators, your congressional representatives,
the governor of your state, and the mayor of your community. Please include
any other local elected officials you believe would be appropriate. The
local postmaster should sign the invitations.
• Follow up the written invitation with a telephone
call to the official's scheduler within a week if you have not received
a reply. You may need to call more than once.
• Keep in touch with all officials who respond.
If asked, provide updated information to the official's staff as it becomes
available (e.g., who else is participating, where and when to meet, what
his or her role will be, etc.). Stress that remarks should be brief and
limited to the unveiling of the Child Health social awareness
stamp and recognition of the role the US Postal Service continually plays
in recognizing social awareness with stamps.
• Include names of all participating officials on
the "official program" as honored guests, and mention them in
all media advisories, if applicable.
• Provide a courtesy copy of the program to the official
in advance.
• Send a written thank-you letter to all officials who
participated in the ceremony, expressing your
appreciation.
• Provide copies to their offices of any newspaper
articles about the event. Even though they might see those articles on
their own, you can take the opportunity to remind them of the press coverage
the event received.
• Provide a supply of extra cachet envelopes with
the special cancellation, if applicable, to officials, even to those who
could not attend. These make great giveaways and serve as a positive reminder
of the event.
• Obtain and frame a photo of the official posing
beside the stamp image and make an appointment to present it in person,
if possible. A matted, well-framed photograph stands a good chance of
being hung on the wall of the official's office, again serving as a positive
reminder of the event.
• Keep in touch with your officials. Good relationships
are built over time.

Dear [INSERT TITLE AND NAME]:
Employees of the [INSERT NAME] Post Office invite you to be an honored guest at a special dedication ceremony on
[DATE] at [TIME] for the Child Health social awareness postage stamp.
The Postal Service values its role as a community leader, and we believe that our stamp program gives us an opportunity
to connect with customers in a very personal and informative way. During our ceremony, children and adults alike will have an
opportunity to learn about the importance of adequate health care for children.
At the stamp ceremony, you will be invited to say a few words about the Child Health social awareness stamp and any
comments you may have about the importance of children's health and safety. We expect significant press coverage of the
ceremony and a good size crowd, including families, schools and civic organizations.
We hope you will join us for our stamp dedication. Please confirm your participation by calling [NAME OF CONTACT] at
[TELEPHONE NUMBER] as soon as possible.
Sincerely,

The following suggested speech may be used at local ceremonies and events to support and promote the Child Health
social awareness stamp. Feel free to customize it to fit your local event and community.
Good [INSERT `MORNING/AFTERNOON']
I'm [INSERT NAME OF POSTMASTER/DISTRICT MANAGER/MC] and it's a tremendous honor for me to represent the
United States Postal Service today as we (dedicate/unveil) the Child Health social awareness stamp.
We are proud to add the Child Health social awareness stamp to our stamp program. For more than half a century, the
United States Postal Service has issued special stamps to help raise public awareness about important health and social
issues.
Hopefully, the Child Health stamp will heighten the public's awareness of preventive measures that can be taken to keep
our children happy and healthy.
The stamp depicts a silhouette of a physician placing a stethoscope on a child's chest. In essence, he's checking on the
future and we need to do the same.
I have a few questions for you:
• How often do you use car seats?
• How "childproof" is your house?
• How up-to-date are your child's immunization records?
These are just a few questions we need to consider.
The stamp is also a reminder to get regular medical checkups for children. It's important to talk to doctors about child
development issues early and often. The stamp reminds us as well to pay closer attention to what our children eat and how
much they exercise. This is a critical issue - pediatricians nationwide cite obesity as a major problem in our society. Diseases of adulthood, such as diabetes and hypertension, often start in childhood. That's why it is important that children have a
balanced diet and get enough exercise.
By making sure that our children are taken care of, we are laying the groundwork for their successful future.
At the Postal Service, we understand the power our stamps have in increasing awareness of important social and health
issues.
With stamps like this one, we are showing that the Postal Service does more than just deliver the mail - the real power of
the Postal Service is our ability to connect people.
So, with this new stamp, in this small way, we have created a lasting reminder of the need to give our children everything
they need to thrive and succeed. Let's help our children stay healthy so we all can enjoy a healthy future - together.
Now, on behalf of the United States Postal Service, I would like to ask [INSERT NAMES OF UNVEILING PARTICIPANTS
IF APPLICABLE] to join me in officially (dedicating/unveiling) the Child Health social awareness stamp!
(Use when talking to media and customers.)
• The US Postal Service continues its tradition
of drawing attention to important social awareness issues with this stamp
promoting children's health.
• The Child Health stamp depicts a silhouette of
a physician placing a stethoscope on a child's chest.
• Art director Carl T. Herrman and stamp artist Craig
Frazier created this image to convey the following themes: Balanced Diet
and Exercise, Regular Medical Checkups, Car Seats Each Time, and Caring
for Our Future.
• The stamp should remind us of preventive steps
we can take to keep our children healthy, such as prenatal care, immunizations,
using car seats, making doctors appointments, regular exercise, and eating
nutritious meals.
• The postage stamps are being issued nationwide
and will be available in all Post Offices on September 7, the first-day-of-issue.
• As with all of our stamp subjects, the ideas and
suggestions for stamps come in to the Citizens'
Stamp Advisory Committee (CSAC) from American
citizens. CSAC carefully reviews every one of the
50,000 recommendations they receive each year
against a long list of criteria. The subjects they select
then go to the Postmaster General for final selection.
• The Postal Service is interested in providing a
diverse stamp program to the American public that appeals to a wide audience
of varied interests and best represents the people, events, and accomplishments
that have shaped our nation.

This new stamp is part of the Postal Service's 2005 stamp program, celebrating the people, events
and history that have shaped our nation. Stamps are unique reminders of the amazing, triumphant
and spectacular accomplishments that contributed to creating the world in which we live. They clearly show that the Postal Service does more than provide mail service - the real power of the Postal
Service is an ability to connect people.
The Surgeon General of the United States, Richard Carmona, has declared 2005 the "Year of the
Healthy Child" and shares tips that are reflected in the text on the edge of each sheet of Child Health
stamps: "Regular medical checkups," "Car seats each time," "Balanced diet and exercise" and
"Caring for our future."
Prevention is the key to a healthy childhood. So make sure that your child has a primary health care
provider, such as a pediatrician or family practitioner, who knows your child before your child has an
illness, injury, or developmental delay that requires medical attention.
Always use a car safety seat. Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death among children
age 5 to 9. Be sure your child rides in an age-, weight- and height-appropriate child safety seat or
booster seat, correctly installed in the back seat, on every trip. If you have any questions about how
to install your child safety seat or booster seat, many local fire and police departments will help you.
A healthy diet maximizes the likelihood of a child growing up healthy and strong. Provide three nutritious meals a day, with fruits and vegetables, supplemented with two healthy snacks a day. Share
meals as a family. Offer children nutritious foods and let them decide how much to eat. Avoid foods
and drinks that are high in sugar or caffeine. Encourage at least 60 minutes of physical activity every
day, like taking a walk around the block or playing organized or pick-up sports with other families and
children. Limit television, video and computer time.
Teaching healthy habits for life is caring for our future.

The Postal Service is interested in providing a
diverse stamp program to the American public that
appeals to a wide audience of varied interests and
best represents the people, events, and accomplishments that have shaped our nation.
• The postage stamps are being issued nationwide
and will be available in all Post Offices on
September , the first-day-of-issue.
• As with all of our stamp subjects, the ideas and
suggestions for stamps come in to the Citizens'
Stamp Advisory Committee (CSAC) from American
citizens. CSAC carefully reviews every one of the
50,000 recommendations they receive each year
against a long list of criteria. The subjects they select
then go to the Postmaster General for final selection.
The Postal Service is interested in providing a
diverse stamp program to the American public that
