The building is literally across the street from the Eisenhower metro station on the yellow line, and next to the spiffy new National Science Foundation headquarters. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Cupcakes and other treats will be available prior to the meeting, so come a bit early and grab a snakc and say hello to your fellow chapter members and welcome new guests. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>And Halloween is just around the corner, so in honor of this, everyone is encouraged to wear your silliest hat… Full on costumes are not discouraged, but as people are coming from work or the gym or other adventures, a silly and slightly ridiculous hat is an easy way to show your Halloween spirit! Any guesses as to what your chapter president will wear? Come on out and find out! Those not wearing a silly hat may be required to wear one of the lovely lampshades from the clubhouse. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Apart from all that, we also have a number of interesting things to discuss, including a recap of our strategic planning session in August. The chapter will have an opportunity to discuss and adopt our strategic plan. We will also discuss audible traffic signals in the community, some tech tips, and other super amazing secret incredible life-changing issues. Plus, silly hats! How’s that for salesmanship? <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I would also request one or two people to come early to help set up as well as usher people up to the clubhouse, that would be very helpful.
