CAABJ Cookout -- Are you coming?

The date is getting closer and we're getting more excited. We want to remind you to come out and take part in our official summer kickoff cookout on June 30th.

CAABJ (Charlotte Area Association of Barbecuing Journalists) invites you to a cookout at the home of our member Glenn Burkins of The Charlotte Observer. Glenn is graciously opening the doors to his home and his grill. CAABJ will be providing the meat and we'd like you to bring one of your best dishes (we all have that one thing we swear we make better than anyone). See sign up info below.

Come mingle with your friends from print, TV, radio, and PR. And have a good time. You know black folks invented the cookout. You don't believe it? Check Wikipedia.
