DC Members

[InfectiousLaugh]

Are there any Washington D.C. Members? I'm currently residing in Centreville,VA and I've noticed that there aren't many DC posts or events.

[Lannear]

I'm new to D.C. (originally from NYC) and my friend who organized the Boston Chapter recommended this to me. She did heavy marketing with fliers and the event was successful, with the Boston Globe reporting it. I live in Falls Church now, you? How many people are there in D.C. that you've noticed or responded?

[lywesley]

Actually Alexandria, VA now.

I just joined the lunch club. Are there many people from the DC area?

DC here!! I'm ready to meet new fun people.

I attended the inaugural brunch in Adams Morgan a coupla weeks ago. There were maybe 15 or more people there. I was the oldest at 53; several were new college grads. Quite a nice mix of backgrounds, interests, and so on. So there ARE some people interested in giving birth to a DC group but if you want to see it happen, you probably need to jump in because it is too new to run on its own momentum.

I'm new to The Lunch Club. Always looking to meet new people and make new friends :).

[nehalshah]

I can't make it to the July 3rd one, but anyone doing anything July 4th for the fireworks?

[sundari00]

I just joined and I'm really looking forward to meeting new people. I've lived here for a year and I have one friend. I've noticed that DC is not the easiest place to meet new people so I reallly hope to make some friends.

I just joined today and i feel like such a loser on the 4th of July playing on the internet, my fiance is at work all day today and i have no more vices. I've lived in the D.C. area for nearly a year now and i ONLY know people from work its so hard to meet people here. Im looking forword to meeting new people.

Hi, my name is Bonnie and I am new to the Lunch Club, but always interested in meeting new people and getting out of my apartment. I've lived in DC for awhile now, but people tend to move in and out with frequency. I signed up for the event on 7/27 and am looking forward to meeting people.

I just joined myself. I live in Gaithersburg, MD but I work in DC. Most of the people I know here are from work. I moved here last year with my husband and alas, my friends are scattered to the four winds. It would be nice to actually have a group of folks to hang out with here. Any other Marylanders?

[smallfrie]

Just join today. I live in Columbia, MD and enjoy meeting new people. I'm happy to see that this area is included in the lunch club.

Great to meet you.

Hey Jackie,

Like your qoute.

[allieannie]

Hi Allison,

Great to meet you.

Nice to meet you too, smallfrie. Apparently the DC activities are just starting to pick up. I guess it was the spots they did on local tv. That's where I heard about it.

Any brave souls going to do the "speed friending" thing? :)

[Cherisunshyn]

Hi Everyone!

I just joined. This is such a great idea! Can't wait to start meeting new people at the events.

[te8972]

Hi all, I see things are picking up. But unfortunately for me, I work in the evenings (1 to 9:30 pm) during the week. So I will not be able to attend any events during the week. The weekend on the other hand is good for me.

I'll be attending the "Speed Friending" thing. It'll be cool to put a face with names. I'm also another Marylander--Upper Marlboro.

[smallfrie]

I learned about this from the tv as well. When is the speed friending event? I did not know they had one in the DC area.

Just finished reading the event calendar. I saw the speed friending is scheduled for the 27th. I signed up. Hope to see everyone there.

[lonegeek05]

I just read about this on Craigslist... sounds like a great idea, so I'm in! Looking forward to meeting new people.

[LDSHap00]

I hope that there are some near where I work!

Hi Everyone,

I look forward to meeting everyone on July 27. I'm not from here but NYC and have lived in VA and now MD. This is such a great idea to have a way to make new friends.

I know how you feel! My wife and kids have been out of town for almost a month with the g'parents in FL. I thought I'd do something "exciting" for the 4th and go downtown to check out the "festivities". Either I went to the wrong National Mall, or it was completely lame (except the fireworks). Ended up just walking my feet down to nubs; they're still healing! ;) Thinking about doing the Speedfriending thing, too. Maybe meet some of you there.

My 4th was ok--went to a friend's sisters house then set off fireworks that I bought

[lookitscath]

hey everyone,

been quietly lurking on the board and wanted to say hello. i've been in dc for a while but have found it's pretty hard to meet ppl here (as some other members pointed out) so i'm looking forward to speed friending on the 27th.

[dreamer21]

Does anyone know if the DC group needs an extra organizer? i've organized for other groups- socially and professionally for a few years now and I might be able to offer a helping hand.

Thanks,
dean

[Jared]

Sure, send an email to Kim, the DC Chapter Organizer - she could definitely use the help:

Thanks.

Hello all,

Just found this site today. Native DC/Marylander here. I'm looking forward to being a member and getting to know other exciting poeple to enjoy what our beautiful city has to offer.

[Patchmdpa]

Hey Everyone,
This is my first time here. I am looking forward to meeting everyone and making new, hopefully lasting friendships. I am in Anne Arundel County so hopefully some of the DC crowd may migrate toward annapolis sometimes.
Anyway just wanted to intro myself.

[Markskn]

Live in Northern VA, Lakeridge to be exact. Love the Lunch Club, joined not to long ago, and attended the 7/27 event. Anyone interested in hanging out let me know.

[Born]

Hey there,

I just thought that I would like to give a little shout out to you all. I'm in Silver Spring, MD. I attended the 7/27 Speed friending thing. I'm always in the market to find things to do. So if anything is going on, hit me up.
