Please join us on Tuesday February 10th as the Sacramento Press Club Freelance Committee presents:

If that sounds like a great opportunity for freelancers, you’re right! Please join us on Tuesday, February 10^th as we learn some tricks of the trade from two of the area’s most successful freelancer sports authorities.
