SBN will host our Eighth Annual SBN Holiday Party at WBUR on Monday evening November 30.  Once again we're happy to announce that WBUR's Robin Young, the host of the popular radio program that reaches over 200 NPR stations, will once again be interviewing a well-known and talented WBUR radio personality. This year David Boeri, the co-host of the WBUR program Radio Boston, will be the featured guest. While David Boeri's television work at WCVB-TV and WGBH-TV is legendary, his entire career in broadcasting is impressive.  He has won Edward R. Murrow awards, Emmy awards, Radio and Television News Directors Association awards, Society of Professional Journalists awards, and was named Boston's Best Political Reporter.

David has reported stories such as the wars in El Salvador and Kosovo, environmental issues in Belize, politics in Canada and organized crime in Boston.  After several years as a commercial fisherman in Boston, he wrote "Tell it Good-bye Kiddo: The Decline of the New England Offshore Fishery". He later lived and hunted with Eskimo whalers in Northwestern Alaska and authored "People of the Ice Whale" about an endangered culture's hunt for an endangered whale. David's breadth of experience, skilled reporting and engaging style is a hallmark of Radio Boston.

This party year we're going to include a Silent and Live Auction offering a wide range of great deals on products and services donated by SBN companies. In an effort to finance the expansion of SBN's work, the SBN Board has personally pledged $19,000 to SBN as part of a Matching Challenge.  The board is hoping that SBN members and friends will match this pledge with an additional $19,000 in donations, party attendance, and purchasing items at the SBN Silent and Live Auction.

Auction Items include:

Four Celtics Tickets

New Orleans dinner for six at Rebecca Rowley's home

One year membership at The Longfellow Clubs

Party at The Longfellow Clubs (tennis, swimming, dancing, etc)

And many more!

Don't miss this fun celebration bringing together the SBN community.
