Newsmaker Luncheon
The club holds Newsmaker Luncheons at the Newsroom Pub. Speakers and topics run the gamut. Held monthly at the Newsroom Pub, each event is a forum for a local, regional or national person or entity currently making headlines to speak and field questions from journalists and the public. Reservations are required and many events sell out. Admission (typically $20 for members, $25 for non-members and $15 for college students) includes lunch.
