Fabulous return to Reston last Wednesday (May 17th) with a turnout very close to 100 which completely overwhelmed our hosts at Eurosia!  By the way, did anyone leave behind a pair of sunglasses?  Call me and let me know the colour to reclaim.  I personally want to thank ALL of you who attended for making the May monthly social one of the very best ever.  Special thanks to Julie Baker (of Sanz), Jackie Bassett (of BT Industrials), Jennifer Bowman (of EMC), Cheryll Pease (of Prosperity Mortgage) and Carla Gregory (Of PropNet USA) who all persuaded multiple colleagues and friends to turnout.  Way to go ladies!

The appetizers were tasty, the atmosphere electric and I was especially pleased to see folks mingling and working the group meeting new people.  Especially gratifying was the significant presence of “newbies”, 22 in all.  Checkout the photos on the website to see who was present.  Some of the companies represented included (apologies in advance for missing any organizations):
