Chairman's Message
Bob Stemetzki
Here we are, at the beginning of a new year for the Vienna-Tysons Regional Chamber of Commerce. Like every new year, I feel a renewed enthusiasm among the board members, our great staff (Gary and Claire) and myself. So let me begin by saying I am honored to serve as Chairman of the VTRCC for the 2003-2004 year and I pledge to you my time and energy for another successful year. My goals for the upcoming year are simple: to continue with events and programs that carry out our Chamber's mission, to strengthen our reputation in the business community, and to try to improve the quality of the opportunities we offer our members.
We kicked off the new year with our annual board retreat this past Monday. We talked about the upcoming events for the next twelve months, each of our responsibilities and how we intend to carry them out. With the help of Rhett Linke (Y2 Marketing, Inc.) each board member completed a questionnaire about their perceptions of the VTRCC. The results, to say the least, were interesting and set the tone on how we might better meet the needs of the membership. (More about this survey in future articles). For starters, we are going to initiate a "Chamber 101" class. Starting this fall, we will hold a monthly program designed to help new (and old) members to use our Chamber as a business tool. Another simple change you will see this new year is holding and some of our luncheons on days other than just Thursday.
The way the rest of the year unfolds is up to you, the membership. Our Board of Directors and our sometimes-overworked staff are just a catalyst. If I may change Webster's definition a little, we (VTRCC) can offer events, business opportunities and resources for our members to use as part of their business plan or for the benefit of their growth, but we can't do it alone. We need you to participate. How fast or how slow we move is up to you.
I conclude with the same message of my predecessors: get involved and get your name out there. You can attend one or two events a month, run an ad, sponsor an event, join a committee, make an appointment with Gary or myself to talk about how the Chamber might benefit your business, tell a board member what you like or don't like about the VTRCC, write an article in the newsletter, invite another business to join the Chamber, make a referral to another member, participate in a TIP Group, volunteer for a leadership role, and/or offer your company's resources to help our staff. The number of opportunities to get your name out to the business community is endless but we can't do it without you.
I wish us all a prosperous year. Hope to see you soon at a Chamber event!
Jammin' Java Featured in President Bush's Tax Cut Address
and by David Letterman on The Late Show
Washington, DC - During his nationally-televised speech at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, President Bush praised two musician-entrepreneurs for their "courage" in launching a new venture immediately after 9-11.
Speaking to the Tax Cut Coalition on May 6th 2003, President Bush said, "I mentioned the Brindley boys were with us today, from Vienna. They...help define the entrepreneurial spirit in America. They started their business right after September the 11th, 2001. Those are confident people. Those are people that said, 'we're not going to allow a terrorist attack to diminish our dreams to have our own business.' I appreciate not only the courage, but I appreciate this -- that they have gone from five employees to 25 employees."
Picking up on this story, David Letterman in his typically hilarious way mentioned "Jammin' Java" and "Vienna" in his segment "George W. Bush - Joke that is Really Not a Joke." While a video of the President played with the President saying "We have the Brindley Boys with us today, and they have started something call Java...", to which Letterman said, "The Brindley Boys, the Brindley Boys. What is that? Java?!?!"
Jammin' Java is for real! It is owned and operated by Luke and Daniel Brindley, who are two entrepreneur-musicians in their 20's. Just after 9-11, Luke and Daniel bought Jammin' Java, a music venue/café/recording studio in suburban DC, and turned it from a business that was going under into a hugely successful music business. Over 50,000 people attended concerts there in the past 12 months alone! This is one of the reasons that the President picked up on their story and used it in his speech - and Letterman spoofed it!
The Washington Post called Jammin' Java the "classiest listening room in the Washington area." Named artists who have performed at their venue include: Jeffrey Gaines (Artemis Records), Butch Walker (Arista), Freedy Johnston (Elektra Records), and Citizen Cope (Dreamworks Records), among many other nationally- and internationally-touring artists.
The Brindley Brothers -- their stage name -- have played with Wynton Marsalis and others. The Washington Post said of Luke that he is "a superb acoustic guitarist and performer." Their third CD will be ready for release shortly. They are interesting, edgy and personable - a great story!

Legislative Affairs
Northern
Virginia, the Engine that Can
By The Honorable Vincent F. Callahan, Jr.
Northern Virginia has long been hailed as the "engine" of Virginia's economy. The region represents approximately 28 percent of the state's population and 33 percent of its total employment. More telling is that 40 percent of the state's income tax revenue comes from this region, down from 45 percent during the technology boom. Putting this into perspective, income taxes account for 62 percent of the state's general fund revenues. It's no small fact that when Northern Virginia gets a headache, the state gets a cold.
For the one-year period ending December 31, 2002, Virginia lost approximately 73,000 jobs, with Northern Virginia accounting for 40 percent of this loss. More telling, however, is the fact that 69 percent of the jobs lost in Northern Virginia were classified as "high-tech". This loss of high-tech employment has a profound impact on the state's total wage base. For the same period, salaries associated with high-tech employment fell $1.078 billion statewide, 97 percent ($1.043 billion) of which occurred in Northern Virginia.
Since December, Northern Virginia has posted three consecutive months of job gains, mostly in the field of defense and homeland security. While job growth is occurring, salaries are expected to grow at a slower rate, as laid-off high-tech workers reenter the job market at salaries approaching 30 percent below their previous rate.
Clearly, Northern Virginia has a direct impact on the state's income tax revenues. For fiscal year 2003, net individual income taxes are expected to grow 2.7 percent, which is less than half the growth rate typically seen. For Virginia's tax revenues to grow appreciably, Northern Virginia's engine will need to roar.
Dulles Corridor
is Rail-Ready
By The Honorable Kate Hanley
The Dulles Corridor Rapid Transit Project continues to move along, and the momentum for rail rapid transit service along the corridor, from West Falls Church, through Tysons Corner and out to Dulles and Loudoun County keeps growing.
Currently, the Fairfax Connector's express bus service between Herndon, Reston, Tysons Corner and West Falls Church carries around 14,000 riders per day. Additional service provided by Metro and Loudoun County serves 2,000 daily riders. This express bus service provides a solid foundation for additional transit enhancements in the corridor, ultimately concluding with the implementation of rail service. Karen Rae, director of the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation, has recognized the Connector's service as bus rapid transit
But, in order to make a significant impact on traffic congestion in the corridor and move people efficiently as well as support current and planned development, the ultimate goal must be a seamless extension of the Metro from West Falls Church, through Tysons and on to Dulles and Loudoun.
The County and the Board are laying the foundation for rail to ensure its success and recognize the critical link need for transit-oriented development to achieve that success. At the June 16th Board of Supervisors meeting, the Board approved a mixed-use development at Tysons II which allows for increased density at the site upon full funding of the rail extension. Additionally, the project's developer, the Lerner Company, will donate land for a Metro station near the intersection of Route 123 and International Drive.
The Board continues to view rail to Dulles as the County's most important transportation priority. I look forward to working to see that this vision becomes a reality as soon as possible.

David Kahn is the specialist in Long-Term Care Planning at Northwest Services, LLC, the financial subsidiary of Northwest Federal Credit Union. Long-Term Care Insurance is emerging as one of the critical issues of our times. Many employees, especially those in their 40s and 50s, are beginning to see their parents struggle with growing health problems. It is estimated that 14.4 million employees are currently balancing work with the role of a caregiver. The aggregate costs of this care giving in lost productivity to U.S. business - in absenteeism and workday interruptions - conservatively translates into $29 billion a year. It is likely that family care giving is so prevalent because long-term care benefits under existing health insurance coverage are limited. And this, coupled with the high cost of care (around $200/day in metro DC), means that the only way a family can afford care giving is to do it themselves. Care may be provided in a nursing home, assisted living facilities, through community-based care services or in one's own home. The most common reason for seeking long-term care insurance is to avoid being a burden on the family. Mr. Kahn advises his clients to consider their long-term care insurance in the same way that they look at their homeowner's insurance - something you hope you never need. David Kahn is a Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor (CRPC) and was previously the leading LTC specialist for USAA for the preceding three years. David Kahn can be reached at 703-810-1072, ext. 15 or by e-mail at Dkahn@NWCUSO.com.

Business/Community News
Department of Homeland Security - In the wake of the terrorist bombings in Saudi Arabia and Morocco, intelligence reports indicate that terrorists may attempt attacks against targets in the United States. Al-Qa'ida, and those sympathetic to their cause, remain the principal threat. Threats may also emanate from other anti-US terrorist groups and ad hoc groups or disgruntled individuals not connected to existing terrorist organizations or state sponsors of terrorism. In order to protect ourselves from those who desire to harm our friends, families, businesses, and the nation, it is important to maintain awareness and look for suspicious activity or "things out of place." Maintain situational awareness of world events and ongoing threats. Make a kit of emergency supplies. Be informed about what might happen.

To Draw This Conclusion:
"I Would Have To Be An Absolute Fool To Do Business With Anyone
Else But You."
We've prepared a FREE audio CD program that explains some of the concepts and techniques that every business owner, professional, and entrepreneur must implement to fully optimize their marketing dollars. Here is a small preview of the hands-on, real-life, "here's how you do it", make-money-now concepts you'll learn:
* How to set the
standard within your industry to ensure that prospects come to you FIRST.
* How to instantly communicate your selling advantages in compelling
terms.
* How to win more of the customers more of the time... and kill your
competitors in the process.
* How to eliminate price competition and compete on value instead.
* Train your customers to loathe your competition...without ever badmouthing
them.
* Franchise your sales system and create extraordinary results from
ordinary people.

These strategies
are universally applicable to all types of businesses, so you're sure
to see ways to implement them into your business immediately. But, as
we said before, we realize your possible hesitancy--that's why we're
offering you an opportunity to get a real wealth of information that
can dramatically increase your bottom line. This 2-CD set normally sells
