The family of Julie Schoo has let the Club know there will be a memorial service for her at 2 p.m. Thursday, June 21, at Christ Church Georgetown, 3116 O Street NW, Washington, D.C.. Schoo, who served the National Press Club and its Journalism Institute for 33 years, passed away at home earlier this month.

Also, on Tuesday, July 10, at 6 p.m. the Club will hold a “Celebration of Life” event for Julie in the Holeman Lounge for staff, Club members and her family.
