We are planning to start back up the fiction/leisure reading book club that we had going for several years. The first date is Wednesday, January 20. We will plan on every third Wednesday and the meetings will be from 6-7pm to catch you right after work. To get us started, the reading discussion for January will be very broad - what you read over the holidays and really liked or what you got for a present. Once we get the meetings organized we'll be doing the theme oriented topics again so we can get a broader book choice for everyone.
Billie Grey at the VA has agreed to host the meetings. She is located at the MacPherson Square exit on Metro so it is easily accessible. Her instructions on access are below. Since this is a government building you will need to be sure to have a picture ID.
Meeting in Board of Veterans Appeals Research Center Room 814, 811 Vermont Ave. NW. This building is across the street from the West entrance to the McPherson Square Metro station, on Vermont Avenue between H and I Streets. Main VA building is across Vermont Avenue. This is a Federal office building so you will need to go through security to enter. You will need to show them a picture ID and tell them that you are visiting me. Your bag and coat will be put through a scanner so no pocket knives or such items. I will need to escort the folks who attend. The best arrangement will be for me to wait in the lobby as folks arrive. Once it gets to be 6P, I will escort all who have arrived up to the room. Anyone arriving when I am not in the lobby should call me on my cell phone (571-334-9302). My office phone (202-461-8182) is not near where we will be meeting, calling on that number will not work very well. The guards will have only my office number, so it is best if you bring my cell phone number.
