Mark your calendars for Saturday, June 13, then get out your checkbook and
buy a couple of tickets for the Front Page Follies, sponsored by our friends
at SPJ. This is the annual fund-raiser for a communications scholarship at
UT, this year honoring WBIR's Bill Williams. Some of our members have
received this scholarship (paybacks, in this case, are not hell), and all of
us have made life fun for the media types that make up SPJ. So let's support
these good folks and UT by attending this really fun event (David Lauver is
once again rumored to be behind the show's script and song writing). Tickets
for dinner, show and non-silent auction are $50 each, tables of 10 for $500.
Venue is the Knoxville Hyatt. You can make reservations by sending checks
made out to the Society of Professional Journalists to 2400 Gallaher Ferry
Rd., East, Knoxville 37932, or call Karen Bridgeman, 483-3295.
And while I'm exhorting the masses, don't forget our meeting Thursday, May
14, 5:30 at the Foundry. Sepaker is Greg Shelton of Covenant Health.
Reservations by Tuesday with Debbie Houser, 470-7573.
