The Freelance Committee has had two very productive meetings so far this year. In March, highly successful freelance Club member Karen Thuermer presented "Valuable tips for serious freelancers."

In April, we held a discuss entitled "Sharing experiences on networking and managing contacts and business cards" followed by three events for freelancers to practice those skills at the Press Club at meetings of three major journalism freelancer contractors.

Come to the May 26 meeting. We won't waste your time.

At 8:30 a.m. sharp, we have 30-second "Who Are We" introductions; then the 30-minute program followed by a 25-minute topical discussion on "Sharing Job Tips in a Competitive Freelance World."

The Club has started to get notices from employers looking for serious news freelance journalists, and the committee will be taking suggestions from members about how they should be processed and communicated.

So come! Share what you think. Learn how the Club can help you get more freelance assignments.
