Silver Owls schedule 2012 "hoots" for April 26 and October 27

Mark your calendars now: The Council of Wisest Owls, the "governing" body for the Silver Owls, the organization of National Press Club members who have belonged to the organization for 25 or more years, has selected Thursday, April 26, and Saturday, October 27 for the group's two 2012 "hoots."

The April 26 event, which will honor former presidents of the National Press Club and the former Washington Press Club, will begin with a 6:30 p.m. reception followed by a 7:30 p.m. dinner and program in the Ballroom.

More information on plans will be released shortly but reservations can be made now at (202) 662-7501 or [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).

The October 27 hoot will be a daytime affair, beginning with a noon reception, followed by luncheon and a program. Additional details on that event will come later this year.
