News Mayor to discuss '09 priorities at Atlanta Press Club event
Posted by Mara Shalhoup on Fri, Jan 9, 2009 at 3:42 PM
Mayor Shirley Franklin will speak at a luncheon Jan. 13 about the city's "economic challenges" and "her plans to leave Atlanta in the black." The event is open to the public. As of now, tickets are available. I also just got word that C-SPAN will be covering the event, which will be held at the Commerce Club downtown.
Tickets are $28 for Atlanta Press Club members and $40 for non-members.
The Franklin address is part of a regular series of newsmaker luncheons hosted by the Press Club. Next month's newsmaker is celebrated PBS journalist Gwen Ifill, who moderated the 2008 vice presidential debate (and was parodied in that role by Queen Latifah on Saturday Night Life). Ifill will offer her insights into the presidential elections at the Feb. 3 luncheon.
(Full disclosure: I serve on the board of the Atlanta Press Club.)
