It’s called “Beer for Bylines” at our annual Summer Solstice Soiree, 5 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 21, at State 48 Brewery at 345 W. Van Buren St., in downtown Phoenix. Enjoy a cold beverage with colleagues and competitors on the year’s longest day. Members: We will briefly hold voice-vote elections for our 2023-2024 chapter officers at this event. More details about the election and candidates are here.

(By the way, we’ve checked the potential traffic report. The Diamondbacks are on a road trip that night, and the Mercury, while at home, play a 12:30 p.m. game that will be well over by 5 p.m.)
