Tavern on the Lake on April 24th was summerlike and slow.  It took a while before the crowds gathered and rallied to yet another lively, boisterous evening where the temperature was warm and inviting so we could gather around several tables on the patio overlooking Lake Anne. Many folks chose to hold their discussions and drinking outside and as Val arrived at about 6:15pm the attendees, as if by magic, kept on arriving till we had at least 40 people present.  So with another wonderful turnout I am ever more convinced we can support both venues.  Tavern on the Lake bartenders Mark and Jeff were excellent and the food yet again was tasty, adventurous and plentiful!  To review the evening splendour take a look at the pictures

I appreciate all those who attended.  Noteworthy appearances include Jason Winn, Gretchen Bock, Bob Meeker, Pedro Morales, Chris Parker and his lovely wife Janina, Dr. Earl Smith,  Clayton Depue, Cheryll Pease, Stacy Young, June Boynton and hubby, Andrew Polcha, Gary Rockwell, Claude Johnson, and Sharon Payne to name but a few!  We had a number of newbies this week, (Nick Yrizarry, Tom Watson, Fred Samuelson, Christopher Lakey, Gautam Balani Ricardo Guraieb and Johanna Ramos) but a number of people who had not attended in years “popped” in too.  Always nice to see (and know) these forgotten faces.  And of course, the die-hard core members (yes you know who you are!) ever present and ever willing to support the event.  My heartfelt thanks to you all for the support you have provided.

The next event is on Tuesday, May 13th at Chima, Tysons Corner, VA.

See you then and onto an even warmer late spring day!
