Special Party Announcement

Dear Neighbors:

It's time for another face-to-face greeting. Moreover, this year Fred Siegel will be joining us from Brooklyn to talk about his new book about the District, LA, and New York -- *The Future Once Happened Here.* John Leo calls it *The best book about cities in decades.* Michael Barone, known for the annual *An Almanac of American Politics* will introduce Fred.

****

First we schmooze. Then Fred talks about our favorite subject--what's wrong with DC (and how it can be fixed). Then we eat and drink. Eat. Talk. Eat. Talk. It sounds just like growing up in Brooklyn. For the
electronically dependent, we'll try to ways for you to send email across the room.

******

Here's the next adjustment for long-time dc.story subscribers. Our group gathering will take place at the DC Jewish Community Center, located on 16th and Q Streets, NW. The facility can handle the larger crowd we expect for this gathering. Show time is 7:30 PM.

Moreover, because we must cater food, we have to charge an entry fee. The cost is $12 for members of the DC/JCC and $15 for non-members. Yes, I know the price may seem a little high but the food will be bountiful and the company extraordinary. Hey, it's tough to spend this little for dinner.

******

PLEASE, I NEED A HEAD COUNT TO ORDER FOOD. Please support dc.story and plan to attend. To reserve a spot with the DC./JCC call 202.518.9400 and ask for extension 269.

In addition, please send me a copy of this email message so I know how much food to order. Just hit the *respond to sender* button and put your name in the body of the text. I would greatly appreciate it if you could respond by Thursday. I'm the guilty culprit running late in organizing this event so must count on you to help pull this all together.

Best,
Jeffrey Itell
