PRESS CLUB COMMITTEES NOW BEING FORMED

The Akron Press Club is looking for folks who would like to take a more
active role in the club and its future. The Board will be forming new
committees for the 2005-06 season. The committees will be open to the
entire membership. In addition to giving you a voice in the Press Club, the
committees will give you an opportunity to meet and socialize with other
members.

Committee members would be asked to attend one meeting monthly, to be
scheduled at a mutually convenient time. There would be no meetings in
June, July and August, unless special circumstances arose.

Plans currently call for the formation of committees to handle the
following: Communications, Programs, Social Events, the Annual Book Sale
and Special Events. A board member will chair each committee.

Please consider shaping the future of the Akron Press Club by joining one
of these groups. If you are interested in signing up, or would like more
information, contact Bob Burford at burford@wksu.org or at 330-672-9154.
