Wake planned Saturday Dec. 3 for former Press Club President Cosgrove

The National Press Club will honor the late John Cosgrove, a former NPC president who passed away last month, on Saturday Dec. 3 from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. with a reception for Press Club members and his family and friends in the NPC Ballroom.

Cosgrove, who presented President John F. Kennedy his NPC membership card, served his club for decades and was the NPC's longest surviving president. The Board of Governors renamed the newly renovated Games Room as the John Cosgrove Members' Lounge in September.

The wake is open to members and no tickets are required.
