Social Hour: Take time out from the busy holiday season to catch up with DPA colleagues and friends at the Ed Oliver Golf Club on Saturday, December 3. And you are welcome to bring guests. Enjoy the music of Carroll Humphrey during the social hour with cash bar, beginning at 11:30 a.m.
Book Signing: During the social hour, you also can take care of some holiday shopping while you visit with DPA authors who will be happy to autograph their latest work. And don’t forget to pick up a bag of DPA 10-Bean Soup, a great stocking stuffer, and still fighting inflation at just $5.
Speaker: During the luncheon, our featured speaker, NBC 10 Delaware Bureau Chief Tim Furlong, will talk about driving the highways and byways of the First State on a quest to “discover” Delaware. He’ll also give his take on the challenges of keeping Delaware relevant in the greater Philadelphia media market. But he wants to hear from you as well and is looking forward to the conversation, so come prepared to be part of the fun. See the attachment for more information on Tim Furlong.
