Newbies ruled the evening! Two records broken - 25 new attendees in one night & half of them attended because of one person, Tom (he is the one featured in photo #2 (1st picture in the second column) with some white hair, wearing a green shirt, khaki pants, on the right of Karen with 2 other gentlemen). We have never had anyone successfully bring 12 new people to an event and Tom is amazing that as a second timer, he was more than able to deliver on his promise of 10 new folks. Way to go Tom. Other notable core (and some newbies too) members who referred others that night include Clayton Depue, Manoj Bhatia, Nancy Osborn, Jim Cribben, Mike Tobin, Thao Nguyen and John Chaplin. We had more than 70 folks participate and the bar was loud, raucous, noisy and busy. I had a difficult time meeting everyone as well as record the faces via pictures. Some folks ventured outside to be able to conduct their socializing and business but braved the warm summer evening weather. Our hosts continued to bring out the delicious appetizers and the bar ladies kept up with our beverage requests! Checkout the photos on the website & see what a fabulous time we had as well as many of the newbies present. Our next event is right after Labor Day at Bombay Tandoor (Tyson’s Corner, VA) on Wednesday, September 9th. Please invite all the folks you can think of to continue to drive a big turnout and thank you all for your continued support. Enjoy the hot summer!
