Off to Washington!
    Right after we met the President, we were off to Washington with our "Show of Hands" banner. A grant we received from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and The Medical Society of New Jersey allowed us to participate in the Smithsonian's Annual Kite Flying Contest on March 30th 1996 and again in 1997. We carried our banner, wore shirts with our C.O.S.T. logo, and flew hand made kites bearing anti-smoking messages. After returning from our trip, we were able to get our message out to more people by appearing on television.
