The Milwaukee Press Club boasts that it is the oldest continuously operating press club in North America. It was born in Milwaukee way back in 1885. And no, I wasn't a charter member! But through my years in journalism, I attended many Press Club events. I write about one of them in "WORK HAPPY: WHAT GREAT BOSSES KNOW", the story of whisking a great employee and his bride from their wedding reception to a Press Club awards banquet via limousine, just so he could accept the numerous awards he had earned. The happy couple were the hit of the night as they walked down the awards aisle in tux and gown. Moments later we had them back at their wedding celebration.
On Tuesday, August 8 at 5:30pm, I'll be at the Press Club's Newsroom Pub on Wells Street, for a book talk and signing. Click
here for details. Later this year I have the great honor of being involved in another Press Club event --
induction into the Club's Hall of Fame. Quite a fun year!
