After a slow start to the evening we warmed up with a decent turnout that allowed us to up the noise level at our long time Café Montmartre, Lake Anne Plaza, Reston, VA venue. The crowd numbered about 40 bolstered by the stellar work of Fred Harrison at NortonNet, Andrew Polcha, Brian Horlacher, Mike Stevens & Donna Marino who all referred folks to attend the gathering…and they did!  Even the drab, somewhat cold weather did not stop us from having a great time.  Our newbies list of 6 was solid, plus we discussed several topics including Dip’s new horse, the Party for the Cure as spotlighted by Donna Marino & Jeanette Townsend, the Young ‘Un’s Summer Internship concept, grass fed cows & how much more healthier we would all be, last event’s record breaking turnout, jobs, management and their style as well as how to get British members to turn up for a pro-British event like Saturday’s Apple Core band spectacle.  Checkout the photos http://www.it4dc.com/it4dc.php?page=pics.php on the website & see what a fabulous time we had as well as the many "newbies" who attended. Additional thanks to Anhle & her entire staff who served us well with some awesome appetizers (I heard many a compliment and enjoyed the food myself).  Our next event will be back at Da Domenico’s, Tyson’s Corner, VA on Tuesday, March 8th. Please invite folks who you believe will benefit and enjoy our group so we can continue to drive a big turnout at our established Reston hangout in 201, making this year even more successful than 2010! Thank you all for your continued support.
