[Ponte Alto] Newcomers, meetings, greetings!

[egeorges]

Hi All,

I am Lady Luce, and due to travels this weekend, I was not able to respond
to Pavla and Colin or Liadan and their inquiries posted here sooner.  I am
also gratified to note that so many of our populace have welcomed our new
citizens that it is scarcely necessary for me to say anything at all! (Can
you see me beaming with pure chatelaine pride over how great you all are?
Way to go!)

Anyway, the newcomer meeting is on Friday, March 14th, at 7:00 p.m.
Directions to our house at 6406 Seven Oaks Court in Falls Church VA will
follow at the end of this email.  The meeting is really more of an open
house (no garb required), giving newcomers the chance to meet members and
ask questions and get acquainted with what's happening here in Ponte Alto.
I encourage anyone who is new to the barony or the SCA, and anyone who
wishes to help welcome our newcomers, to attend.  There will be light
munchies.

It looks like this is going to be a great meeting, and I am looking forward
to seeing you all there!  In the meantime, if you have any questions, feel
free to call me.  Because I am travelling all week on business, I will leave
you all with my cell phone # 202-215-4184.  Also, please use my email at
scalucia at cox.net.

See you Friday!

In Service,
Lady Luce Antony Venus

Directions for Newcomers' meeting

TAKE YOUR BEST ROUTE towards the Seven Corners junction in Falls Church.
(Seven Corners is the junction of Route 50 and Route 7 in Falls Church.  It
is a complex intersection, and it's impossible to miss for that reason.)  If
you are coming via the Beltway (I-495), your best exit is onto East Route 50
if you are coming from the south, or East Route 7 if you are coming from the
North.  If you are coming from I-395, get off on Route 7 King Street exit
and go west.

On Route 7 EAST of the Seven Corners intersection,


 (AFTER the seven corners intersection if you are coming from the Beltway,
BEFORE the intersection if you are coming from DC or Alexandria on Route 7.
If you are coming from the East (Arlington or DC) on Route 50, go into the
intersection and follow the signs to get on Route 7 EAST)
 you will see CASTLE ROAD
(It's right near a gas station -- a Mobil or Exxon I think)

Turn onto CASTLE ROAD

Immediately on your right will be CASTLE PLACE.  Take a RIGHT onto CASTLE
PLACE

CASTLE PLACE will then junction with SLEEPY HOLLOW.  Take a LEFT onto SLEEPY
HOLLOW.

Proceed down SLEEPY HOLLOW past the fire station on the left.  Take your
SECOND RGHT onto ASPEN DRIVE

Follow ASPEN DRIVE to the end, where it will junction with an access road
off of Route 50.  Take a RIGHT onto this access road.

You will go through 1 stop sign, and the Seven Oaks development should then
be on your right.  go RIGHT into the Seven Oaks complex.

SEVEN OAKS COURT will be the row of townhouses on your immediate LEFT as you
enter the complex.  6406 is the one on the left end facing Route 50 with the
red door.

PLEASE DO NOT PARK IN NUMBERED SPACES, AS THESE BELONG TO MY NEIGHBORS.
PICK UNMARKED SPOTS OR ONES MARKED "GUEST."  Thanks.
