This meeting will be important for several reasons. We're going to make plans for all our events for the coming year, we're going to talk some more about the kick off party in Chicago in July for the 2009 NABJ convention in Tampa, we're going to talk about soliciting entries for our Griot Drum Awards by the end of the month, we're going to confirm some new officers for the group and if we're lucky, we'll see some black journalists who are new to the area stop by to meet everyone.

Please join us -- I know its tough to make a meeting at the beginning of the year, but we really need to pull together on some of these projects and get organized before the year gets too far away from us.

Thanks in advance for your efforts...
