OK, so it's not really DC, but it's close enough. We started this venture after hearing about the wonderful time many of you had in Orlando (the first RP Bridge Event) and Las Vegas.  
 
Thanks to the hard work of INBOONIES, Dsawes, DOUNOTIGER, SWilbur675, Logsman and others, these Real People Events have quite a following and are a tradition for all of us. 
  
We get to leave our PJ's and the comfort of our homes, while we venture out to meet each other in person.   
This is such a treat, and something to look forward to.  
 
The next events in Chicago (October) and the cruise (January 2000) will be just as much fun.   
Our thanks to DPhill1026 and MadeOBuck for their talent and support.  
 
Also, thanks to WPLAYJacki, WPLAYMaida, and Dan Ross.  
 
This is truly a community of friends.
