SATURDAY, JAN. 25
MEMBERSHIP MEETING AND LONG-TIME MEMBER RECOGNITION
SPJ DC Pro Chapter [http://spjdc.org/] will meet SATURDAY, JAN. 25,
2020, 1 P.M. TO 3 P.M., for a MEMBER APPRECIATION MEETING AND
LONG-Time MEMBER RECOGNITION, at the Bethesda-Chevy Chase
[https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/bcc/center/meetingrooms.html]
Regional Services Center, Room West-A, 4805 Edgemoor Lane, Bethesda,
MD 20814.
Reconnect with SPJ friends and get to know other SPJ members you
haven’t spent time with before during our annual recognition of
members whose SPJ membership milestones were reached in 2019 – that
is, their membership anniversary years fell on 5- and 10-year
intervals last year. We have some chapter members with more than 50
years of membership, and some who have been members for five years.
And of course, a range of anniversaries in between.
If you were honored last year or a previous year, honor us with your
presence again this year! The more the merrier. If you are a new
chapter member, and want to just have an occasion to mingle with other
members, without a formal program to sit through first, do join us.
As you are probably aware by now, the annual SPJ-RTDNA convention –
called EXCELLENCE IN JOURNALISM – will be held in Washington in
September 2020. Our chapter leaders are eager to have EIJ20 be a truly
excellent experience for all attendees, who will be coming from around
the country to the nation’s capital for an immersive couple of days
of journalism training and organization business. Learn more about
this at the membership meeting, and solidify your plans to attend as
well.
WE WILL WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU, ABOUT YOU, at the MEETING – so
PREPARE A FEW REMARKS ABOUT WHAT YOU’VE GOTTEN OUT OF YOUR YEARS OF
MEMBERSHIP, and the state of journalism today, if you like. Tell us
about your career, too. There is so much to celebrate about the past
and the future in a changing media landscape.
We’ll have some light fare and beverages, but since we have to clean
up the room ourselves before leaving, we’ll steer clear of flaky or
sticky things. No alcoholic beverages or punch allowed in the facility
– but, like we did last year, we’ll have another nearby restaurant
in mind for US to repair to following the MEETING, for happy hour or
other munchies. The county government facility is strict about groups
adhering to the scheduled end time of the rental, so we must be
cleaned up and out by 3 p.m. _While we hope you can come to the
meeting, those who can’t make it that early should plan to join us
afterward._

in downtown BETHESDA, Maryland. When you get to the top of the
escalators exiting the BETHESDA Metro stop, GO LEFT THROUGH THE BUS

located, and it is almost straight ahead of you, with parking beneath
it. Walk around to the entrance. THE WEST ROOM-A IS ON THE SECOND
FLOOR. There is free parking on Saturdays in several Montgomery County
garages in the area, with Metropolitan Garage 49

in the same block as the B-CC RSC.
See information about getting to the B-CC Regional Services Center by
various modes of transportation, including the nearby Red Line Metro
stop in BETHESDA, and free Montgomery County parking on weekends, on
