The event is open to the public. Walk-ins are welcome.
UPDATE: We're now expecting at least 50 folks for this event, and it could well be a good bit more with last-minute walk-ins. That's due to two chief reasons, one happy and one sad. The sad news is that in this economy and this troubled industry, so many people feel an even greater need than usual to investigate their next thing. Happily, so many wonderful folks have pitched in to get the word out--via everything from blogs to their Twitter updates (a special thanks to George the uber-connector and our favorite Infoman)--that we'll be attracting two or three times the crowd that would normally come to such an event. Looking forward perhaps to seeing you there.

Hi John:
I'm trying again. Do I need a Google account to comment? Oh, I figured it out, I think. Good luck with your event. I'd love to hear how it works out.
John-
Were I more mobile I would attend.
Supporting the efforts of each other to do positive things to move our region forward will take all od us working together. It is good for us all to begin to think differently and hone our leadership skilles to maxamize all of our talents.
Thanks to you, Jorn and your fellow members of thwe Society of Profssional Journalists.
Donna, so glad you figured it out. Next time you stop, please leave the link to your great blog so that folks can poke around.
Gloria, I sure can't wait till you're back to full tilt. I'm sure you hubby told you I was trying to visit while you were still in the hospital, but unfortunately never got there. Just hurry back to full mend. We need your strong voice back again!
