"Wow!  Tysons Corner is a popular location & you supported the event magnificently!  We had a large gathering which made for another fabulous, electric, scintillating evening of networking.  The weather cooperated beautifully, so we piled out on to the patio and Fred Harrison was delighted with his brisk book sales.  Checkout the photos! 

There was a healthy crowd of new folks (nearly 20) plus plenty of the “club” as well as some folks whom we had not seen in over a year.  I received loads of compliments about the location and Chima Restaurant too.  The bar is contemporary with plenty of room for crowds.  Unfortunately, we did not get a chance to review the appetizers as the restaurant provided less than half of what was promised and those that did eat the few appetizers were not impressed with them.  We also needed a hostess outside on the patio to help serve our crowd and those drink prices were a bit expensive.  Still, the consensus was to do this again and so we will attempt to come back to Chima in November.

Those of us who attended had a wonderful evening of conversation and laughter.  I want to thank you all for making the effort to support Fred and our group . Special mention to the perennial attendees: Paulette Gilmore (Creative Visions); Michael Mort; Faith Cooke (Booz Allen & Hamilton); Linda Drake (FBC Services); Carla Gregory (PropNet); Dan Bell (General Dynamics); Cheryll Pease (Prosperity Mortgage); Sandy Hallenbeck (SAIC); Linda Martino (Eyak Technology); Andrew Polcha; Pedro Morales (DoD); Donna Marino; Lisa Rivel (Preferred Offices); Chris Parker; Eileen Fox and many more. Our crowd stayed on past 11pm to wrap up another exciting, lively, spirited evening.   

Our next event is a return to Reston, VA on Wednesday, October 24th at Tavern on the Lake.  I hope to see you all there and more as we approach Halloween!
