Colleagues, FYI:
Members of PRSA and their organizations are invited to participate in the
23rd annual Front Page Follies, a popular scholarship fundraiser and
gridiron sponsord by the East Tennessee Chapter of the Society of
Professional Journalists. Invitations for the May 19 event went out
recently, but our invitation list may not be complete. Here are the specifics:
"2001: A Spoof Odyssey"
On May 19 at the Radison Summit Hill, the East Tennessee Chapter of the
Society of Professional Journalists will present the 23rd edition of the
Front Page Follies with a dinner and show. We've got plenty of material
this year!
Proceeds from the Follies support journalism scholarships at the University
of Tennessee and Pellissippi State Technical Community College. The 2001
scholarships are named in honor of Ron McMahan, former editor and owner of
The (original) Knoxville Journal and former press secretary to Senator
Howard H. Baker Jr.
The evening will begin with a 6:30 p.m. reception followed by dinner.
Seating is reserved, with 10 people at a table, and those who reserve full
tables receive priority seating. Tables are assigned as reservations are
received. Individual seats are available also. Before the show, we'll
auction news-related items, so please remember to bring your checkbook.
Please make your reservations to join Ron and the Society of Professional
Journalists May 19 for a good cause, a good meal, and lots of laughter.
Reservation deadline is May 11, 2001. To make reservation, send check for
$50 per ticket or $500 per table (payable to E.T. SPJ) to Sally A. Guthrie,
5316 Riverbriar Road, Knoxville TN 37919. Please specify if you want a
vegetarian meal. If ordering a table for 10, please indicate how it should
be designated on the sign on the table.
If you have a question about the event, you may contact me or any SPJ board
member (including Alan Carmichael and Lisa Hood Skinner). Hope to see you
there!
