In lieu of the regularly scheduled meeting, the Assembly will hold its annual close-up/parlor show for the National Press Club members and other guests on Wednesday, April 15, 2008. The show is free to the public and starts at 7:30 PM instead of at the regular 8:00 p.m. meeting time. Please arrive early and if you will be dining at the Press Club, arrive extra early. The performances are family-oriented, so children of all ages are welcome. Even if you are not performing in the show, please come and lend your support to the assembly.
