It will take place on June 1 at the Lion Village Community House 1920 North Highland Street, Arlington Virginia. The time is 2:30-5:30 PM. The cost is $20 to cover food and drinks.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;">We call this a reunion as we are inviting many persons who have been a part of our Northern Virginia chapters in the past. It will be fun to visit with many of our friends again and to learn about their successes. We plan to offer entertainment and other surprises.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;">I am attaching three documents. The first is a solicitation request to obtain auction items from merchants you know and believe are willing to help. It explains the purpose of our auction and outlines some of our major activities. If everyone can obtain two items, our auction will have its success ensured.<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;">The second document is an informational piece you may send to friends and neighbors in order to invite them to join us. I would quickly follow-up this document with a personalized phone call or any other communication you believe will be effective. Personal communication is extremely important.<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;">The third communication is a letter aimed at members who were once with us but have drifted away. Again, follow-up personal interaction is very important. We love to see our friends join us.<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;">If you or those you invite have questions, please call me on 703-867-6400.<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;">If you and or your friends plan to join us RSVP to me.<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;">John Halverson<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;">Mobile and text: 703-8676400<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;">email:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="mailto:jwh100@outlook.com" style="color: rgb(70, 120, 134); text-decoration: underline;">jwh100@outlook.com</a><o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;">John Halverson, Ph.D., Corresponding Secretary, Potomac Chapter<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div><div id="divtagdefaultwrapper"><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; background: white;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Sent from<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style=""><a href="http://aka.ms/weboutlook" style="color: rgb(70, 120, 134); text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: blue;">Outlook</span></a></span><o:p></o:p></div></div></div></div></blockquote></div></body></html>
