Trip to Hong Kong Among Auction Items at Oct. 15 Fourth Estate Award Dinner

You'll get a chance for a trip to Hong Kong at the Fourth Estate Award Dinner's silent auction on Friday, Oct. 15.

Up for bid will be a three-night stay for two in a deluxe room at the Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong Hotel, offered together with Cathay Pacific Airways tickets for two (economy class with space-available option for upgrade to business class).

The hotel stay and air travel are valid from April 1, 2011, through Dec. 31, 2011. Blackout dates are Dec. 23 through 26 and Dec. 30 through 31. Other restrictions apply, and the prize certificate details all rules and restrictions.

The silent auction is part of the Oct. 15 Fourth Estate Award dinner, where the NPC will honor Bob Schieffer of CBS News with the Club's highest honor, the Fourth Estate Award.

Member ticket prices are $125, and every member can buy one guest ticket at the member price. Non-member tickets are $175 each. Reserve at [email protected] or (202) 662-7501.
