Deadline is this week to sign up for slot in 'Press vs. Politicians' spelling bee

Want to test your spelling chops against members of Congress? There are open spots for the journalists' team at the National Press Club Politicians vs. Press Spelling Bee.

But to get one of them, you must sign up this week.

If interested, email Young Members vice-chair Sean McMinn at [email protected] with subject line NPCBEE. A drawing of interested members will be held at the end of this week.

The Bee, scheduled for 7 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 27, will benefit the National Press Club Journalism Institute.
