We'll gather 6 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 22, upstairs at Varsity Grill in Tacoma for the first Fall meetup of Social Media Club Tacoma. We'll all enjoy each other's company, of course, but there's also a program. The program will be about the evolution of news and community. We've got a great lineup of people to present and to start the conversation. You can see a lot more information about the speakers on our blog.
