>Dear Friends:
>
>We're writing you to let you know that "Arirang: The Korean American 
>Journey," and "Arirang: The Korean American Dream" will be available to 
>your local PBS station beginning this October.
>
>
>
>For the first time, we have the chance to widely share the hundred year 
>history of Korean Americans ("Journey"), as well as the story of the new 
>migration of the past thirty years ("Dream").
>
>
>
>But to make this happen, we need you to get involved, because local 
>programmers decide station by station what gets on the air.
>
>WHAT YOU CAN DO
>
>Call, write or e-mail your public television station by Friday, September 
>19. Most stations will make their programming decisions for November 2003 
>at that time, or sooner.  The next two weeks are crucial to our goal of 
>airing the programs in November, meaning within the Korean Immigration 
>centennial year.
>
>
>SAMPLE:
>
>
>"Hi.  I'm calling (or writing) to let you know that the untold story of 
>Korean Americans, "Arirang," is being offered to your station for 
>broadcast. I'm looking forward to seeing it and want my friends, family 
>and community to see it too. It's part of us all getting better 
>acquainted. If you can air it in November, it would help celebrate the 
>centennial of Korean immigration. If not then, would you please keep it in 
>mind for Asian American history month. Please let me know when it will be 
>aired. Thank you."
>
>In case any programmer wants to know: The programs will be uplinked by 
>satellite (or "fed") on Sunday October 12, between 7:30 and 9:30 p.m. 
>Eastern Time by "NETA" (National Education Telecommunication Association).
>
>
>
>You can also ask your friends, family and community to contact their local 
>PBS stations.  Your help will make a difference because programmers are 
>interested in viewer voices.  Our goal is to gently awaken them to the 
>fact that a lot of us are interested in the Korean American story and we 
>feel strongly that, after all these years, it must be told.
