Mark your calendars: April 23
From: Friends of The Houston Post/SPJ
When: Saturday, April 23, 6 p.m.
Fellow Friends of The Houston Post:
We are in the process of planning activities to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the closing of the Post. The committee -- it's a small one -- is still working out the logistics, but we wanted to make certain you marked your calendar for Saturday, April 23.
What will happen that day and/or evening is still being determined. In true Post fashion it sort of depends on the funds we have available. The Hobbys are considering hosting a reception on the 23rd but are concerned about the number of ex-Post folks who will attend. So please let us know if you will be able to make it to the reception ASAP.
We are asking for a $25 donation to help cover the costs of the reception on the evening of the 23rd -- either at the Hobbys or at a local hotel (or a suitable location). The donation should cover catering costs for the reception so we can celebrate in the appropriate fashion (we are planning on a cash bar). Please forward your $25 to Eileen O'Grady at 12111 Olympia, Houston, Texas 77077.
You will receive an e-mail confirmation. Also, we are planning a panel discussion for the morning or afternoon of the 23rd. The topic is "How News Media Coverage Has Changed in Houston During the Past 10 Years." OK, it's not a nailbiter, but we want to make certain it's a productive discussion. So far Ron Stone Sr. has agreed to moderate the panel discussion and UH journalism professor David McHam has signed on as a panelist.
Within the next few weeks we should have more details available about what will happen on April 23rd. If there is anything you would like the FOTHP Committee to consider including, please send us a note. Look forward to seeing everyone on April 23.
Mike Cinelli, Eileen O'Grady
