Want to meet other journalists during one of the biggest Charlotte events of the year? Join us for the CAABJ Membership Mixer during CIAA week. This year we're holding it in the VIP room of the Fox & Hound, 330 N. Tryon street, February 27th at 7:00p.m.


Also, our Media Access Workshop at UNC Charlotte was a big success last year, so we're planning another. This time it will be held on April 28th. More details will follow. We still need committee members for this event. Last year we had more than 60 people in attendance! If you're interested in being on the committee, send an email to charlotteaabj@gmail.com.
