Annual CCG (DC) Happy Hour
Well, our much anticipated Annual Capital Communicators Group (DC) Happy Hour has finally come together.
So, to switch it up a bit in our 10th year -
Our Happy Hour will be next Thursday, August 26th at Nick's Riverside Grille on the Georgetown Waterfront in Washington, D.C from 5:00 - 7:30 p.m.
(I'll get there early to 'reserve' some space).
Parking is available at various garages, or at the meters along K Street.
Drink specials are $3 beers and $4 cocktails.
Depending on the CCG (DC) fund, we might order some appetizers as well.
Please come out!! Feel free to invite others, bring some business cards, discuss future lunch topics, enjoy some libations and meet some of your fellow CCG friends.
(as I am new to posting on this blog, please RSVP to me at: traveling2033@yahoo.com) so that we can have a rough idea of attendees.

August Lunch... er.... Happy Hour
As is our tradition, we skip hosting a CCG lunch in August in exchange for a happy hour. And this year, we decided to partner up with Washington Women in PR and hold a joint happy hour.
WHEN: Tuesday, August 18 from 5:30-8:00 p.m.
WHERE: RFD, 810 7th Street, NW, Washington DC (metro red line)
COST: That's up to you. It's pay as you go for food and drinks.
WWPR has created a Facebook page for the event. (Thanks, WWPR friends!)

Happy Hour Recap
So last night was our CCG happy hour...
I originally posted about the Happy Hour asking our members to weigh in on their thoughts about CCG happy hours because we "only" had about 10-15 people show up. I was concerned that turn-out seemed scant and that perhaps the new members who showed up might have been disappointed. But after hearing from two people last night, I guess I'm wrong.
My co-conspirator, Joe (our VP and Treasurer) had this to say in response to my (now edited) post: "I'm pleased with the turnout: I think it's better that we had an intimate gathering, rather than if all 600 of our members had shown up. I'm certainly not trying to 'spin a spinner' as one member warned against last night, but we have a couple new members after last night, some coworkers came all the way down from Bethesda, a dozen or so people did come, and the beer was good. What's wrong with that?"
And a member -- who shall remain nameless because I didn't tell her I was quoting her -- said: "Maybe we should do the happy hours a little more frequently to build a following. Good location anyway, which is huge with me."
Maybe my first instincts about the evening were wrong. After all, I'm usually the first to say: Small crowd who is engaged has a good time is better than a large crowd who is bored.
So I amend my earlier thoughts. Last night was good. I had fun. Met new people. Talked with some active members who gave some great advice about both business and personal matters. Had a good Belgian white beer. What more could you ask for, right?
And for those who didn't come, I'd love to know: Was it the location? The date? Lack of interest in happy hours? And should we hold CCG happy hours more often?
