You all are fantastic!  What a Herculean effort by all and let me tell you, every single one of you were magnificent.  We rocked Da Domenica’s Italian Ristorante on our first visit there and Tom Basile deserves a huge thank you for suggesting this place as well as he and Terry, Al and George all working the restaurant management team to give us complimentary food.  And they did because more than 75+ participants showed up, spent money at the bar and many of the attendees had dinner as well.  The weather cooperated, folks like Brandon, Nazanin, Terry, Carla & crew, NortonNet, Robin, Mark and so many more all invited newbies and former members to come and support the group & with such an overwhelming crowd, our hosts dished out complimentary food and a commitment that we would receive this every month without a minimum bar commitment.  Way to go everyone!  We just need to do this in February (either the 8th or the 9th) one more time to show them we have a fantastic group and I think we have our Tyson’s venue for 2011.  Other topics of conversation included the Young Un’s forum, supportive managers, and holiday gifts, the holidays themselves, jobs (as always) and how many of you love the new location. 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 bartender who did his best to keep up and the Da Domenico’s management team for their hospitality & the wonderful appetizers (I heard the calamari, sausage & cheeses were delicious) provided to us. Our next event will be back at Café Montmartre, Lake Anne Plaza, Reston, VA on Tuesday, January 18th. Please invite folks who you believe will benefit and enjoy our group so we can continue to drive a big turnout at Reston too and begin 2011 in style, making this year even more successful than 2010! Thank you all for your continued support.
