What better way to celebrate the holidays than with your fellow AAJA SFers and a whole bunch of food!

Mark your calendars for our annual holiday party from 6:30-9:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 7 at Intersection for the Arts, 925 Mission St. (next door to the San Francisco Chronicle offices) in downtown San Francisco.

Feast on food and drink. Mix and mingle with members of AAJA SF, the Society of Professional Journalists and the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association. It’s a great way to warm up for the 2012 Unity Convention in Las Vegas. We’ll also have a silent auction and other fun activities.

We’ll also be selling the 2012 AAJA Men of Broadcast Calendar! In addition to being fantastic gifts and stocking stuffers, the calendar raises money to support AAJA programming.

Looking forward to seeing you all there!
