We currently do not have anyone to send out the Duulles monthly events list. If anyone would like to take on this volunteer task, please let us know (either e-mail me directly, or e-mail the Dulles Planning list). In any case, the primary events these days appear to be the monthly CritMass book discussions, the monthly Duulles lunch, and the yearly Winter Escape. All these are posted as individual posts, so at least we've got that covered. (Not sure if the Winter Escape has been posted on the Duulles list yet.) The Arlington Fellowship X group (http://www.fellowshipx.org/), which is focused towards people born in the '60s and '70s, also has an events list that lists lots of additional events. If you know of any other YA or post-YA groups in this area that have events, please let us know (again, either e-mail me directly, or e-mail the Dulles Planning list). - Eric, http://www.InvisibleRobot.com/ From pdahl at starpower.net Tue Dec 5 16:17:10 2006 From: pdahl at starpower.net (pdahl at starpower.net) Date: Tue, 5 Dec 2006 16:17:10 -0500 (EST) Subject: [duulles-announce] [JPD-Announce] Winter Escape registration opening Thursday Message-ID: <20061205161710.BXJ81405@ms03.lnh.mail.rcn.net> Registration opens Thursday at 6:30pm. I let folks know early because registration order determines some room preference. To register, go to www.connectuu.com, look for the Critical Mass Winter Escape 2007 event. You must have an account already created (which you can do ahead of time). http://users.erols.com/pdahl/winterescape/ for more info' on the retreat.

As it turns out, I will not be able to attend because it was the only day I could arrange for my daughter to see her grandfather, and she hasn't seen him in quite a while. But I'm sure other folks in the group have it on their calendars and a good time will be had by all. All are welcome to attend and enjoy the Lebanese and Mediterranean fare this weekend, and I'll catch up with everyone next month!! At Jeannie's suggestion, this month's location will be trying somewhere different, and moving it a little later for the travel distance.
