September 2011 Meeting Location Change

Capitol Choices AND Fine Dining??What more could you ask! The September 23rd meeting will be held at it usual time and on its usual date BUT not at its usual location. We'll be meeting at the Westover Library (1644 N. McKinley Rd., Arlington, VA 22205) about 2.15 miles from the Central Library (directly out Washington Blvd). Follow this link: http://www.menuism.com/cities/us/va/arlington/n/westover-village for some suggested places to join your colleagues for lunch… all are within a one block radius (except the IHop…and who wants to go there anyway?).
