  A Dinner with Fellow Cornelians in Anacostia

  Please join Damian & Robyn (ILR, class of '82) at our home in Anacostia. We invite six guests to be part of a dinner on Saturday, November 8th at 6pm. 

  As an added enticement, we will supply the dinner and only ask that guests bring their favorite libation.
  

  Since we can accommodate only six guests please only sign up if you are absolutely certain you can attend. 

  Street parking is easy and we live a five minute walk from the Anacostia Metro stop on the Green Line.

  We look forward to meeting fellow Cornelians next month!
