Another excellent turnout despite the beginning of summer!  We had a solid 65, maybe 70 folks present in active as well as 15 or 16 newbies, stimulating conversation plus the tremendous voice of Ambrose who sang an operatic classic for our group. Topics of conversation included our professional Maggie snapping away candid shots, the “Young-Uns” special event later in the month, Valerie (my wife) and a UK friend attending the next event, vacation schedules, 108 bottles of beer in a fridge (yes really I saw the photo) as well as member Kirsti’s skin care event & requesting business owners to sign up for the Spotlight Spot in 2011. Oh and let’s not forget the scrumptious appetizers (veal medallions & meatballs)!  Our professional photographer Maggie Szymanek (Uncommon Photography) took some incredible shots. Special mention goes to Donna Wilson, Suneeta Rana (2 guests), Matthew Weaver, Russ Ege, Chuck Taylor, Mark Werblood, Brian Horlacher, Neal, Brandon Gulley and Chris Smith who all invited single guests. Great job team!  Thank you all for inviting others.  The Collateral Display table had several items of literature (thank you Frank & Kirsti). 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 Kunal & Ambrose behind the bar for their great bartending services plus Syed & Gino and their entire staff who continue to serve us well and the Da Domenico’s management team for their terrific hospitality, plus the wonderful appetizer they provide us. Our next regular event will be back at Café Montmartre’s, Lake Ann Plaza, Reston, VA on Tuesday, June 21st. Please invite folks (and do not forget your high school/college kids too) who you believe will benefit and enjoy our group so we can continue to drive a big turnout at our Reston hangout in 2011, making this year even more successful than 2010! Thank you all for your continued support.
