Message from the President
by Diane Poldy

We’re getting back to business! September is full of opportunities to enjoy yourself with the Chamber while you grow your business, starting with the Fall Carnival at Nottoway Park (9601 Courthouse Road in Vienna). Look for our signs on Nutley St., Maple Ave. and Route 66 directing you to a weekend of family entertainment, located in an idyllic setting. The festivities begin Thursday, 9/7 at 6 pm and go through the whole weekend, ending on Sunday, 9/10 at 7 pm.

Be sure you don’t miss our Annual Golf Tournament on 9/18 at Hidden Creek Country Club in Reston. Showcase your business with a sponsorship, or get up a foursome of prospects. The Shotgun start is at 8am, (7am registration). Enjoy the Awards Luncheon, grab one of the many fabulous prizes and still have time during the afternoon to close those deals!

Then join VTRCC, the Greater McLean Chamber and PNA for our FREE “Farewell to Summer Networking Extravaganza” at Tysons Dodge-Jeep on 9/20, 5:30- 7:30 pm.
