Hello ROCK Northern Virginia/Metro DC!  I hope you can join us for the next meeting.  Here are the details in this email.  I am also attaching a copy of the flier as a Word doc file if you would like to print one for your fridge, share it with a friend, or post at your local health food store, doctor's office, school, hospital, or library.  Any help distributing this information is greatly appreciated.  Feel free to email it along to others too.  You can always attend even if your RSVP is a yes, no or a maybe.  The RSVP only helps me determine how to set up the room and how many chairs to have available.  ~Melonie
