DCArea GTG April 2017

Thinking of having a DC GTG in April after the Cherry Blossoms festival ends on April 15. Looking at either the weekend of April 22 or 29. Anyone interested?.

If I were to go only the 29th would work for me, but I'm not a definite at this point anyway. Just throwing it out there.

Hi to all!

I have volunteered to send emails in March/April when we close in on final information.

When you know you are coming, please email me at donnafrhody at gmail dot com. Please include your real and online names, name of person(s) with you, and a telephone number. The number could be needed for last minute changes or if you get lost! As we get much closer to April, I will send private emails with the information.


Do we have a volunteer to see about a restaurant for Saturday night? Would a reasonably accurate count by the end of March be a good idea? Sorry if I've missed the discussion about that.

For those of you thinking about hotels, many of us are booking at the Marriott Marquis; they have an AAA rate for $135/night for that weekend.

If we can get a tentative count for dinner that Satruday evening, I have a couple places in mind that I could check. So again, echoing TDudette, pls provide her with you info.

I'm trying to get an estimate of how many people would be at dinner on Saturday evening. I realize many don't have definite plans yet. I have the names submitted to tdudette & on both posts on Fodors and on FB. Here's what I've come up with - please let me know if I have missed you or have you listed incorrectly. And pls contact Tdudette with your info. donnafrhody at gmail dot com

Dinner on Friday night at 6:30 pm is at Acadiana.
Please post here if you wish to be counted for that reservation only if you have not responded in the Lounge or on FB.
