Please thank our dedicated NPC staff this holiday season

They're here for you every day: Greeting you with a warm smile, setting up your event, serving you lunch or pouring you a drink after work.

As members of the National Press Club, we're so very lucky to have a wonderful staff of more than 100 dedicated people to make us the great organization we are. Behind all of the successful programs - be they professional, social or cultural - is an army of support.

And now it's our opportunity to give back.

In this season of joy, I encourage our members to show their gratitude to the NPC staff by donating to the annual employee holiday fund. There are donation boxes available at the front desk and on the 14th floor. The size of your donation, be it large or small, will be kept confidential but we're happy to note your contribution by name.

Whether you donate or not, I urge you all to always take time to thank our Press Club staff for their hard work. We're all busy, but a nod of appreciation goes a long way.

As president, it has truly been an honor to work alongside our team and see the immense effort they put in behind the scenes. We are truly blessed to have such an outstanding staff who care so much about the members' well-being.

Please join me in expressing our thanks to the staff by contributing to the annual holiday employee staff fund.
