For people in Northern VA or D.C., please consider connecting with this very nice student. I enjoyed talking with her at convention.

> Hello all,
> 
> The week after convention, a student from LCB will be visiting the area to
> complete one of her graduation requirements. She is interested in both
> professional development and site seeing. In terms of the former, she is
> interested in working in the national security field. I will bring her into
> the Bureau to meet with various people, but if any of you have contacts to
> blind people working at one of the other intelligence agencies, I would be
> appreciative if you could help make a connection. I don't pretend to know
> everyone there is to know and want to make sure she is exposed to as many
> contacts as possible. She is also interested in hitting some popular
> landmarks, doing some shopping, and checking out local restaurants. If you
> live in or near Arlington and are available to show our guest around between
> Sunday, July 16 and Wednesday, July 19, please contact me off list. The
> student is looking at making this area her home in the future. It would be
> great to introduce her to some good Virginia hospitality from fellow
> Federationists.
