Thanks to everyone who made it out to the annual SPJ fall cookout. We had a good turnout and good food! Check our Facebook album for all the pictures.

Also, say hello to our newly-elected board:

Next up, we have our first event of the year tentatively scheduled for Monday, October 19 at 6 p.m. at Kelly’s in downtown Lansing. We’ll have Chad Livengood of The Detroit News come and tell us how he broke the Courser-Gamrat story from over the summer. You’ll want to join us for this!
