[VABS] VABS Movie and Mingle Recap: What Was Missed

[Ashley Bramlett]

ah interesting. brownies can be paridise.
If the fairfax chapter meets back at red lobster where it used to be held, 
you can get their version of dessert with a brownie.
I think you'd love it.

See you at the next fairfax nfb meeting hopefully.

Dear President Parsons And Hello All:
Good Day!
We highly encourage all students to take full advantage of any opportunity 
to network and get to know each other. My personal highlight were those 
killer potstickers, as they were filled with flavor. As for my "Brownie 
Obsession" dessert, that just sent me over the edge of glory/introduced me 
to the true taste of paradise. As for "Annabel: The Creation", I was quietly 
trembling in fear, always on the edge of my seat! We truly hope all students 
will take advantage of our future/upcoming events. Thank you, ALL! We 
definitely enjoyed yesterday, And are confident that you all will enjoy our 
future events/gatherings. Thank you much, President Parsons!

Many Thanks And Much Respect.

Sincerely,



Naim Muawia Abu-El Hawa
