Join the NPC Freelance Committee happy hour on Wednesday, Aug. 31

Missing the summer already? Or are you planning ahead for a vibrant autumn? If you are looking for a little boost of energy, working ideas and networking opportunities, join us for our "back to work" Happy Hour, on Wednesday, Aug. 31, at 5:30 p.m. in the National Press Club's Truman Lounge.

The event is open to National Press Club members and their guests. No RSVP necessary.

The Press Club provides complimentary cheese and fruit but you pay for your own drinks.

The soiree is part of a series of casual get-togethers to connect with fellow freelancers and learn about the committee's upcoming event to promote our work.

The gathering is also an opportunity to meet with new members, so your presence is particularly welcome.

We will introduce our activity for the rest of the year, including the plan for a networking event to help freelancers get in touch with hiring editors.

Also, come ready to discuss freedom of the press for those of you reporting on the elections.

If you want to keep up with committee activities, make sure you are on our e-mail list by sending your name, e-mail address and phone number to Sarah Driggs at [email protected]. For any other questions, email the NPC Committee Chair Antonella Ciancio at [email protected].
