DAIRY COUNCIL OF CALIFORNIA'S COMMUNICATION EFFORTS RECEIVE KUDOS

Sacramento Public Relations Association Honors Organization with Three Awards

SACRAMENTO - April 8, 2004 - Dairy Council of California receives three Sacramento Public Relations Association awards for its achievements in consumer communications.

Dairy Council received a gold, silver and honorable mention award in the World Wide Web, short-term public relations campaign and promotional device categories, respectively.

"These awards speak to the excellent communications programs we have at the Dairy Council," said Peggy Biltz, Dairy Council CEO. "The staff has developed these successful campaigns that inform key audiences of the healthful benefits of milk and dairy foods. The awards are well deserved."

A gold award went to Dairy Council for the redesign of Meals Matter, a website staffed by registered dieticians and dedicated to promoting healthy food choices for families that include the range of dairy foods. With the redesign and re-launch of the website, Dairy Council was able to triple the amount of visits to the site from the previous year.

Meals Matter was also honored with a silver award for its back-to-school campaign that included marketing, public relations and promotional strategies to raise awareness of the site and secure new users to register for ongoing communications from the Dairy Council.

Dairy Council received an honorable mention for its 2003-2004 calendar, which was distributed to educators and health professionals. The calendar not only alerted key audiences of Dairy Council's new logo, it also provided useful health and wellness tips, information on Dairy Council's nutrition education programs and recipes from the Meals Matter website.

The Sacramento Public Relations Society annually awards organizations and agencies that have achieved excellence in communication efforts in the Sacramento area.

Meals Matter is sponsored by Dairy Council and allows users to search for recipes, receive customized meal planning and nutrition tools, create shopping lists and more.

Dairy Council of California has been providing nutrition education programs to schools and health professionals for nearly 85 years. Available in both Spanish and English, Dairy Council's programs encourage healthy food choices from all food groups and daily physical activity.
