MAC Members,

Here's another e-mail related to our plans for the upcoming Annual
Conference in Washington, DC.

We have put in place plans for a *Lionel Barrow Minority Doctoral
Scholarship Soiree*, which will take place on *Wednesday evening, August 8*
at City Tap House DC, which located a few steps from our Conference Hotel,
The Renaissance.

Proceeds from the soiree will benefit the Barrow Minority Doctoral
Scholarship, which MAC supports in conjunction with the Communication,
Theory & Methodology Division.

Since MAC is the lead sponsor for this fundraiser, we need one or two of
our MAC members to coordinate this event.   As vice head/program chair,
I've focused on the logistics (reviewing bids, blocking programming time)
and finances.      But, I'm NOT GOOD at planning a party (smile).

That's where help is needed.   I need one or two volunteers who will work
directly with the restaurant to select menu options, develop a promotional
strategy to encourage AEJMC members to buy the *$50 tickets* for the soiree
 (which will be included in the general conference registration form) and
develop a nice 15-min. program that we'll put on during the event in our
private room space at the restaurant that evening.   The event is blocked
in the AEJMC schedule to run from 8:45 p.m. to 10 p.m. that evening.

It will follow the CT&M Members' Meeting.

Please e-mail me directly if you would be willing to help oversee the
planning for this event during our conference.
