Registration continues for the 2012 APSE summer conference, set for June 20-23 in Chicago.
You can read all about the plans for our first joint convention with AWSM by clicking this link here.
In addition to sessions, the Red Smith Award luncheon honoring Frank Deford and much more amid all the Chicago culture, we aren't leaving out a little fun and games on Saturday, June 23, before we hand out the awards.
— The APSE 5K has quickly become a fixture at APSE events For some, it's a chance to show off their competitive running skills. For others, it has become the motivation for even bigger things (read here about the life-changing transformation of Philadelphia Inquirer sports editor John Quinn).
— 1st Vice President Gerry Ahern says an inaugural APSE 3-on-3 basketball tournament is in the works. An indoor court has been secured and several players have already signed up. If you'd like to play, e-mail Ahern at gahern@usatoday.com
— A tennis tournament has also been discussed as possibility for Saturday as well. More to come on that.
If you'd rather leave the sports entertainment to the pros, there is a great deal offered on a night at the ballpark to watch the Chicago White Sox play the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday night. The deadline to purchase tickets extended until Tuesday, May 15
Tickets are $26 each. The White Sox also offer a Patio Party — $63 ($42 for the Patio ticket and a reduced baseball ticket of $21).
If you want tickets to either, please do two things:
1. Email Jack Berninger at jackapse@aol.com and let him know how many you want and whether you want regular or patio tickets;
2. Make your check out to APSE for the appropriate amount and send them to:
