Last call! Deadline looms for Silver Owls dinner reservations, 6:30 April 26

Less than a week is left for making reservations for the next Silver Owl Hoot on Thursday, April 26, when the National Press Club's most senior members gather for fellowship and fun, music and memories.

The event will begin with a 6:30 p.m. reception, followed by dinner and a program featuring John Eaton, the great jazz pianist and one of the legendary interpreters of American popular music.

The event will salute the the "long, gray line" -- the 32 surviving ex-presidents of the National Press Club and 10 surviving ex-presidents of the old Washington Press Club, which merged with the NPC in 1985. Many of them -- including five of the six most senior
former NPC presidents -- have already indicated they will attend.

Reservations can be made by phoning (202) 662-7501 or e-mailing [email protected]. The cost is $35.00 per person. There will be a cash bar and free parking will be provided at the PMI lot on G Street, between 13th and 14th Streets (about a block and a half from the Club).
