This is something that Fred posted and I thought it highly worthy of a sticky:
http://capwiz.com/gunowners/dbq/media/

With just a couple minutes of work you can reach up to 5 media outlets at a time.  This is a fantastic promotional tool that every instructor should be using.

I just used it to contact these magazines:
Kentucky Explorer (email)
Kentucky Living (email)
Kentucky Monthly (letter)

Punch in your zip code, or the zip code of some shoot locations and send a release to the newspapers of your choice!

For Liberty, each Freeman Strives
As its a Gift of God
And for it willing yield their Lives
And Seal it with their Blood

Thrice happy they who thus resign
Into the peacefull Grave
Much better there, in Death Confin'd
Than a Surviving Slave

This Motto may adorn their Tombs,
(Let tyrants come and view)
"We rather seek these silent Rooms
Than live as Slaves to You"

Anyone got a  good boilerplate event notice that has worked with their local papers?

The rest of us could leverage?

One Man awake, Awakens another. The second awakens  His next-door brother.
The three awake can rouse a town. By turning the whole place upside down.

The many awake can make such a fuss. It finally awakens the rest of us.
One man up, with dawn in his eyes, Surely then, Multiplies. Lawrence Trib

I thought of a cold bore contest!
$1 per shot, one at a time, 100yrds.
Some simple prizes from the AS store,(ie...Coffee mug, cards, oval patch,Challenge coins)on a range that could not Support an AS event!
Then extend that invitation to the group to visit the next closest in location and time!

Ask and you shall receive.  I have spent the morning refining a real press release.  I have sent it to a professional (someone who creates PR's for a living) for review and correction.  I will post a copy here as soon as it's finished.
