Ask Me About DC - February 19th

We are again participating in the annual "Ask Me About DC" event organized by Destination DC and Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton on Capitol Hill.

The day provides Members of Congress and House and Senate staff an opportunity to learn about attractions, entertainment and dining options in Washington, DC to support the needs of their constituents. The majority of the attendees are staffers and interns. There are more than 800 people who attend this event. Many of them have just moved to DC. This is a terrific opportunity to get your marketing materials in the hands of brand new DC residents.

We collect items from ALL ADAMS MORGAN BUSINESSES to distribute in a bag to attendees.

SOOO here is what we need from you before February 12th:

* Menus

* Business cards

* Flyers

* Discount coupons

* Disposable bags - we need close to 800 of them

* Give away items with your logo/name on them that would catch their attention

* Anything else you would like us to give to folks....

Clarence Myers will be collecting these items so please coordinate with him.  Clarence can be reached at 202-536-9515.
