Really Meet the Media

MEDIA EVENT!!

Evan Weisel of Welz & Weisel (Virginia PR firm that is top-rated by me) sent this over. It's a very different way to meet the press (and indicative of the 'out of the norm' thinking that Tony Welz and Evan Weisel bring to the table. These are good guys (hear the show they did with me in the archives at www.FederalNewsRadio.com). I will be at this event.

Fairfax, VA - January 28, 2009 - Welz & Weisel Communications, a strategic public relations firm focused on creating awareness and credibility campaigns for information technology companies, today announced it will host a government media networking reception on February 24, 2009, providing attendees with unique insights into the marketing, advertising and editorial plans of the area's leading government-focused organizations.
