See you at Papa Joe's or maybe on facebook


Don't forget the Beacon Journal Retirees Lunch at 1 p.m. Wednesday at Papa Joe's Restaurant in the Valley (Portage Trail at Akron-Peninsula Road).

The lunch used to fill a full room at the restaurant, but lately a lone table can accommodate the group. It's as if they were trying to mirror some of the decimated newsrooms hit by staff cuts and layoffs.

Remember, you do not have to be a retiree, a buyout victim or castoff staff member to attend one of these lunch
es. We would love to see some of the still busy at work BJ types.

Maybe retirees will have to check out the story by Mary Beth Breckendige on Facebook so as not to feel they are completely out of the loop. You will find a few BJ types there --definitely many more than at Papa Joe'e

For our other viewers far and wide, if you need a primer on facebook, check out Mary Beth's story spread all over the front of the Premier section in Sunday's Beacon. Or look at it via Ohio.com. Click on the headline.

Catch you
at lunch Wednesday or almost any second Wednesday at Papa Joe's/
