Let’s Move! NAB Senate Spouses PSAs
NAB recently developed a series of public service announcements in conjunction with the Partnership for a Healthier America for the Let’s Move! campaign. The Let’s Move! campaign, spearheaded by First Lady Michelle Obama, aims to reduce the growing epidemic of childhood obesity within a generation.

Over the past three decades, childhood obesity rates in America have tripled, and today, nearly one in three American children are overweight or obese. But by working together, we can solve this challenge so that children born today will reach adulthood at a healthy weight. The Let’s Move! campaign provides schools, families and communities the simple tools they need to help kids be more active, eat better and get healthy.

NAB has produced radio and television PSAs featuring members of the Senate Spouse’s Club encouraging their communities to get active. The spots offer parents ideas for healthy snacks, ways to exercise as a family and resources for additional information.

The National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS)—the Library of Congress’ talking-book and braille program—celebrated 80 years of helping visually impaired and physically handicapped individuals to enjoy reading their favorite books and magazines.

Talking Books is a free library service that provides digitally recorded books and special playback equipment to a readership of more than 850,000 Americans. Any resident of the United States or U.S. citizen living abroad whose low vision, blindness or physical handicap makes reading regular print difficult is eligible for the program. The NLS collection of more than 400,000 titles of bestsellers, classics, biographies, romance, and other genres delights even the most selective readers. Magazine lovers enjoy free subscriptions to more than 40 periodicals in audio format.

Patrons are served locally through a national network of cooperating libraries. Beginning with just 19 libraries in 1931, the NLS network today includes 113 libraries throughout the United States and its territories. Thirteen percent of our wounded soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan have eye injuries. U.S. veterans receive priority lending status for NLS materials. NLS considers its service to veterans to be a core part of its mandate.

Your station can help -- consider including these 15, 30- and 60 -- second public service announcements in your daily rotation schedule. Empower listeners with this valuable information.
