Please come to our annual meeting and Cleveland Press nostalgia night

We do not often call upon our membership to show up at a meeting, but this time we are making a special appeal. We, the board, want to meet you! We want to consult with you. We want to engage you. 

 

With that in mind, you are cordially invited to the SPJ Cleveland annual meeting and nostalgia night this coming Thursday, June 30 from 6 to 8 p.m. Admission is free for members and only $5 for guests, so bring a friend! There will be food, fun, memories of Cleveland's media history and fellowship. We will also elect our new board, and you'll have a chance to meet them and make suggestions for things you would like the board to do. You will NOT be asked to stand for election! The nominations are all done! So come on out and enjoy your SPJ chapter -- it's risk free! 


Location:

Cleveland State University's Michael Schwartz Llibrary, Third Floor, Special Collections area. The library is the first few floors of the Rhodes Tower, which is closest to Chester and East 21st streets. The signage is not good but there's an outdoor map you can consult if you park along Chester (there are meters). Or download a campus map here - the RT label means Rhodes Tower. There is a nearby parking garage (you must pay to park here) on the west side of East 21st, the building marked CG on the map.

Thursday, June 30

6 to 8 p.m.
Cleveland Press Masthead

For those who weren't around at the time, the Cleveland Press was the Plain Dealer's competitor, and had only recently celebrated 100 years in business when it folded in June 1982. For those who were around at the time, the death of a newspaper is like the death of a person. We mourn it to this day, and will never forget.
