Over 50 North Unit members were surprised this morning to find a charter bus in the Club’s parking lot. It looked like an ordinary bus from the outside, but what they discovered was something totally different. Equiped with multiple cameras, live satelite hookup and production equipment, this news station on wheels allows C-SPAN to cover breaking news from any location.

The C-SPAN “Civics” Bus was gracious enough to give tours to each member and explain a little about the role it has played over the years, including being the stage for various interviews from authors to past past presidents.
