We got back to our large number turnouts despite late storms and miserable traffic conditions.  We had a 50+ attendance and the weather cleared up enough for folks to sit outside.  90 degree days and the most number of 90 degree days in one year record was one of the topics of conversation, as well as upcoming Halloween parties, creative iPhone applications, Greg Mortenson (Three Cups of Tea author and humanitarian & focus of Dip’s spotlight topic) and the economy based on the office furniture business. Is it turning around because more businesses need furniture because hey are adding more people?  Thank you to all of you for referring our newbies and sending them to our event. We had a solid percentage of newbies show up this time around and most of their referrals attended too.  Remember if you invite someone, please attend yourself & make sure they bring business cards!  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 Alison (bartender) and the Café Montmartre management team for their hospitality & the wonderful appetizers provided to us. Our next event will be at the Westin Hotel, Tyson’s Corner, VA location on Wednesday October 6th. 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
