P.R. Bazaar an Opportunity to “Meet the Annapolis-Area Press”

Save your choice of dates for a unique, Annapolis-area version of Meet the Press. 

The 2009 edition of P.R. Bazaar will be held the evenings of Monday, June 8 and 15.  The events start when the doors open at 6 p.m. for registration and networking.  The panel will be seated at 7 p.m. on both evenings.

There’s so many excellent print and broadcast media in this area, for the second year in a row, the traditional one-night event has been spread over two evenings.  Attendees can chose to go to the first, the second or both.

Unless there’s a major breaking story, 11 local seasoned editors, reporters or producers have volunteered their time to serve as panelists at the annual P.R. Bazaar, held at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Annapolis, 333 Dubois Road, in Annapolis, Maryland, 21401. 

P.R. Bazaar is open to the public.  Folks handling public relations duties as volunteers, with cultural groups; non-profits such as PTAs, Scouts, School Clubs and Sports, Community Groups, youth groups, and charitable organizations; or small businesses and government agencies are welcome to attend.

This is neither a college-level course, nor will you learn everything you need to know to run a killer public relations campaign.  There’s no guarantee your next story will appear on the “front page above the fold” – or get 35 million hits on youtube.com.

But, in a friendly atmosphere, you’ll get a quick introduction or a learn a fresh take on an old news angle with this opportunity to hear from respected media professionals.  Day-in and day-out, they bring the world home to the people in this community.  They really do think globally and act locally. 

On Monday, June 8, P.R. Bazaar is hosting Editorial Representatives from Annapolis Times, WNAV 1430 Radio, The Capital, Bay Weekly, Maryland Public Television and What’s Up Magazines.

The evening of Monday, June 15, these media have accepted our invitation to appear at P.R. Bazaar:  What’s Up Annapolis Magazines, SpinSheet Magazine, Severna Park Voice, The Capital, Taste of the Bay Magazine and What’s Up Magazines.

You will have the opportunity to ask the panel questions and to network with them and other members of the audience.

Past attendees have commented the two evenings provide a good opportunity to meet various members of the media in a relaxed atmosphere.  “It’s helpful to learn preferences and other details from various media representatives all at one sitting,” said one.

Admission is a $10 donation per person for one evening, $17.50 per person to attend both events.  Checks may be made out to “UUCA.”  Reserve early to ensure a seat and enough take-away materials for everyone.  RSVP by emailing Wendi@quantumstep.com or by calling  410-349-0945.  Please specify whether you are attending June 8, June 15 or both evenings.

Light refreshments will be served.

The UU Church of Annapolis is reached by turning off Bestgate Road onto North Bestgate Road, driving past St. John Neuman RC Church, and turning left onto DuBois Road.  At the bottom of the hill, turn left into the church’s back parking lot.

P.S.

Want to let you know about a rally at Upper Senate Park, just across Constitution Avenue from the Capitol, on May 23rd which is Saturday of Memorial Day weekend.  The event is the Defend America Rally and the purpose is to raise the awareness of citizens to our loss of individual freedom to the federal government as America moves toward socialism and to raise the awareness of politicians that we will not tolerate this.  Details of the rally are on the web site  www.defendourconstitution.org and on Facebook as well. 

 "We are pleased that hundreds of Americans, especially the young Americans who will inherit our country, will be in attendance to insist that our politicians adhere to their sworn oaths of office to defend our Constitution and its insistence on individual freedom and liberty." - Mike Love of Defend America Rally.
