Back-to-back events during the same week still could not dampen the spirits of a highly vocal Café Montmartre happy hour.  We had a slightly smaller crowd attend with a smaller number of first timers but amazing that some of our attendees were participating the very next evening at the Michael Margolis Story Telling event.  By the way, that event was fantastic with a total of 77 showing up & Michael providing wonderful value.  The talk of the evening was the Korean Armistice Day remembrance awareness, the following evening’s event and continued support for more people to sign up, job searches for folks as well as tremendously hot weather.  Let’s not forget also, Steve Trauman spotlighted his retirement presentation to those of us approaching this issue.  Thank you all for referring our newbies and sending them to our event, especially those who are first timers and persuaded others to come to a new event.  Not an easy thing to do!  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 some of the "newbies" who attended.  Additional thanks to Anhle & her crew at the Cafe for their hospitality & their wonderful appetizers (although I did not get to try them all out).  Remember if you invite someone, please attend yourself & make sure they bring business cards!  Our next event will be at the Westin Hotel, Tyson’s Corner, VA on Wednesday August 11th.  Please invite all the folks you can think of to continue to drive a big turnout and continue 2010 in style and make this year even more successful than 2009!  Thank you all for your continued support
