Monica Krysztopa, one of the No Idle Zone organizers, reports a few updates since the February launch. Among them:

1. A 20 percent return of pledge forms from parents in District 205. Overall, more than 5,000 pledges have been turned in.

2. About 700 members of the AFSCME Union are signing pledge sheets and presenting them to the Winnebago County Board.

3. Beef-A-Roo will have the NIZ message placed on 20,000 tray liners for the summer!

4. Key Clubs at Auburn, Boylan and Keith are spreading the word about the negative effects of idling to their peers. They are collecting pledge sheets and handing out key tags.

5. Watch for No Idle Zone on an RMTD bus!
