Programs

Throughout the year, WBP sponsors about half a dozen evening programs, plus occasional brown-bag lunch discussions and tours. WBP also holds a holiday party and book gift exchange in December and a ceremony and reception to announce and honor winners of each year's Book Design & Effectiveness Awards.

Take Me out to the Ballgame!
Join WBP Colleagues at Nationals Park


For the second straight year, WBP members have the opportunity to descend upon Nationals Park like locusts in search of camaraderie, baseball glory, midsummer entertainment, and maybe even a cold beer (if you like that sort of thing).

Date: Tuesday, July 27
Game Time: 7:05PM
Opponent:  Atlanta Braves (Boo!!)
Special giveaway: the first 10K fans get a free T-shirt


Seats:  Our seats are in the Outfield Reserved section, somewhere between right-field bullpen and the scoreboard (the same general area where we sat last year).

Cost:  Assuming we reach a threshold of 25 attendees, we get a break on the ticket price—each seat will cost $20.

Deadline to RSVP:  If you would like to partake, please contact Chris Kelaher by e-mailor phone (202-536-3606) by COB Tuesday, July 20. Chris is picking up the tickets on July 21.

Bonus: Last year, most of the attendees met beforehand in The Bullpen, an outdoor patio bar-and-grill across the street from the main entrance to Nats Park. They picked up their tickets there, had a drink and maybe a hot dog, then went over to the stadium. But if you aren't sure about getting there in time or you'd rather go straight to the game, tell Chris or Julian Graubart. Julian will leave your tickets under your name at the Will Call window.
