Come join us for a summer BBQ!

WRC is hosting a BBQ this weekend!

Join us at Madeline’s place from 4pm – 7pm this Saturday June 26th for some summer grilling. Please bring friends, family, and one of the following: cups, burger/hot dog toppings and/or condiments, plastic utensils, napkins or paper towels, side dishes, desserts, or drinks. When RSVPing, let me know what you will bring so we don’t have duplicates! Hope to see you there!

Directions: The Riverplace apartments entrance is 1.5 blocks from the Rosslyn metro, at 1701 N Lynn Street–walk downhill to Lynn Street, cross the street, and turn right at the corner with the Chipotle. Entrance is right past the CVS. If driving, you must park on the street, and there are not a lot of spaces.
