A message from NABJ Secretary Deirdre M. Childress...

Did you know athletes took a series of standard IQ tests and bowlers scored highest: An average of 129, 29 points above the average. Golfers did the worst at 97. And, of course, journalists did better than both groups. (Guess which part of that is true!)

But on behalf of NABJ, an organization founded by our own Sandra and Acel with 42 of their friends like journo legends Claude Lewis and Chuck Stone, I, Deirdre Childress, want to extend an invitation to everyone. Please come on out and support one of NABJ’s kick-off events, planned to build momentum to our convention in August 2011 here in Philadelphia . This event is also a fundraiser for our new headquarters at the University of Maryland ’s Knight Hall, which is scheduled to open later this year. Your $25 gets you bowling shoes and lanes, food, billiards, folks and fun. NABJ is 'On The Move'...And We Want You To Come And Play!

NABJ 'In the City' Bowling Night

DATE: Wednesday, April 29, 2009
LOCATION: North Philly Bowl, 909 N. 2nd St .
