Our meetings will be held at the Best Western Pentagon at 2480 S. Glebe Rd, Arlington Virginia 22206. Call (703) 979-4400 to make reservations. Ask for the Leadership Meeting to get the special rate. You can stay where you want but we have reserved a block of rooms at the Best Western Pentagon at a great rate of $79 per night for a single, $89 per night for a double. If you have any problem, ask for sales manager Laurie Donovan. The Best Western Pentagon has a continental breakfast, free shuttle to the airport, shopping and other amenities as well as a fitness room and computer center. The hotel is right at exit 7 on I-395. A very quick cab ride from Capitol Hill. The meeting will start at 10:00 AM Friday, January 20 and run until 5:00 PM. Saturday, January 21st the meeting will begin at 10:00 AM and run until 5:00 PM. Sunday, January 22nd will begin at 9:00 AM and run until 2:00 PM. Be sure to plan plane flights accordingly. Please be sure to send a confirmation if you are planning to come and what days you will be there for. Make a note if your wife or husband is coming too. We need to plan for meals and meeting space. Let us know as soon as you can. Please respond to [email protected]. Put “Yes, I’m coming” in the subject line. We will likely have a special event on Thursday night, January 19th, so try to arrive early if you can. We will have a reception and possible Wild Game Dinner. This is not a sure thing yet. We need volunteers to help prepare the meals. Certain very special people have done this for years and can get worn down, especially if we do several food events while you are there. Let me know if you want to help. Plan to bring a bottle of wine or your own meat to take care of any special meat requirements. Respond to [email protected]. It’s likely we’ll have at least one special event on Friday night or Saturday night or possibly both. Since there was a significant amount of controversy about the ESA within our ranks, the people who responded to our e-mail all urged that we add a day Friday to deal with ESA and the clash within our ranks. It seems like with ESA coming up in the Senate, we're going to need to have some frank discussions. Saturday and Sunday will then be clear for other opportunities to work together. Please remember, as always, this is not a public meeting. It should not be discussed outside our group. Reminder—Do not forward this e-mail to anyone. Neither this meeting or anything about it should be discussed outside the group. These are not my rules. We set them up as a group a long time ago. If you wish to nominate someone else to participate, pass his or her name along. We’ll go through the normal vetting process. Any suggestions you have to improve the meeting, or for agenda items, will be welcome. Thanks.
