Please distribute that The decision has been made to meet right at the dock at the national harbor. Basically, the dock shares an address with a rather expensive and beautiful restaurant, which could serve as a landmark. The street address for The dock and McCormick & Schmick's Seafood & Steaks is 145 National Plz, Oxon Hill. We could treat the restaurant, which shares an address with the dock, as a landmark. However, the restaurant is rather pricey, so it may not suit everybody‘s respective budgets. Therefore, we may feel free to go elsewhere once we all convene. Furthermore, we can just use the dock/restaurant as our meeting location, for everyone to know. Also, Please remind your respective chapters that RSVPs are due by 11:59 P.M., this evening. Many thanks and much respect.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Sincerely,<o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Naim Muawia Abu-El Hawa <o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>--- Message from John ---<o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>We have had to make some changes to our plans regarding the Saturday September 7 visit to the National Harbor.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Yes, the visit is still taking place. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Yes, we plan to have lunch together. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Yes, we plan to explore the area after lunch.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Some of us will take the water taxi from Old Town Alexandria to National Harbor.
