Winter 2008 Newsletter
The membership of Partners Metro DC owes our gratitude to
Larry and Ed, our retiring co-Presidents. Larry and Ed have been giving of their
time, energy and organization skills over the past two years. The Greater
Washington, D.C. community has been enriched by their service. As the
organization moves forward with our "newly" elected Board of Directors, I am
glad to know that Larry and Ed have offered their advice and council whenever
needed.
As we look forward to our 2008 calendar of events, we do
have a couple of openings for member couples to sponsor an event. March, July
and October are available for new events to be planned. If you have ideas,
please forward them to us at
info@partnersdc.com. As always, your participation in the organization
makes Partners Metro DC a rich, rewarding experience for celebrating Gay and
Lesbian Relationships. We work to provide a diversity of events and social
outings where networking and social friendships can arise. Each event offers the
opportunity for the richness of our community to be expressed. We are pleased to
be part of this organization and are honored that the membership has placed
their trust in our leadership.
Thank you,
Steve and Michael
co-Presidents

info@partnersdc.com with any questions or concerns. Our President or a Board
member will contact you.

Have any ideas???
Partners Metro DC's is always looking for couples to get involved. Have an idea
for a function? Do you have a special interest? Need help in planning an
event? We are here for you. Our success comes from member couples being
willing to "pick up the ball and run" to coordinate a function. We have an eager
Board of Directors ready to assist you in getting an event working. It's your
ideas and planning that make our organization able to offer diverse events
suited for couples and couples with children. Just because the calendar of
events may look complete, doesn't mean we aren't interested in offering other
social events. We are also looking for those small intimate socials after work,
lunches, tours, anything you can think of and would be willing to sponsor. Send
ideas or events to
info@partnersdc.com and we can help you get it going.
