Occasional SoCal CSR Outings:

*************************************************************************************
To receive invitations to the Occasional SoCal CSR Outings, email me at marlavous@hotmail.com. The several we've had so far have been a lot of fun. Different people come all the time. Networking is really worthwhile in our stressful job. It's amazing how many supportive, helpful people we have in our profession. That's why getting out and meeting other reporters is so important. All are welcome.

Comment by Vesna Walter on December 6, 2009 at 17:41: Yes, Christine. I think you can do hearings without it.

Comment by Christine (Steno Nerd) on December 6, 2009 at 17:30: This may sound like a stupid question, but just wanted to make sure...

You *MUST* have a CSR license to work as an official or freelance reporter in California, correct?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Comment by Marla Sharp on October 19, 2009 at 14:17: Is it painfully slow out there, or is it just me?

Comment by kathy - iamwrdsmth on October 8, 2009 at 16:15: too far for me, sorry

Comment by kathy - iamwrdsmth on October 7, 2009 at 23:20: what city is theADCB lounge located in?

Comment by Marla Sharp on September 28, 2009 at 16:44: I sure did! A great group of people came out for this one. And the wireless realtime demo by StenoCast went well. Drinks and appetizers were half price, which was nice.

I was told about a special the ADCB Lounge has on Fridays where between 1 and 4 drinks and food are $5. So I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in a Friday afternoon outing?!?
