HI All,
Does this Soiree take the place of our traditional Friday or Saturday night social?

Subject: Lionel Barrow Scholarship Soiree- Coordinator NEEDEDMAC 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.
