WHCA Dinner set for May 1, 2010

Mark your calendars. The White House Correspondents’ Association dinner will be held Saturday, May 1, 2010. The ticket price of the annual dinner, at which the President of the United States speaks, is being bumped up $25 to $225 per person. According to the WHCA board, the price hike means more money will go toward college scholarships, which is the reason for the black-tie dinner — from the current $25,000 to $132,000.
