Welcome to  MEETUP FOR ONE CITY!  Members of the Friendship Archway Network and Allies Building Community Inc. (A.B.C.) welcome you to join us on the 3rd Sundays of each month from 12:30PM to 2:30PM for FREE networking (free admission, water and networking, self-pay for food/drink you order.)

MEETUP for ONE CITY is a community initiative inspired by Mayor Vincent Gray's vision for Washington D.C. Meetup for ONE CITY is currently a educational program organized by local volunteers and "changemakers." Mayor Vince Gray and team held an awesome One City Summit at the DC Convention Center on Feb. 11, 2012! Let's keep in touch with followup conversations each month on action steps to support the priorities described at the Summit. 

 EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED at this community event! 

The first step is to get to know each other better to see if we are ready to work together harmoniously with appreciation, forgiveness and understanding. These monthly community events provide opportunities to develop more community allies and to connect with others interested in similar topics. Express your interest to the group, to the co-organizers and attend followup meetings.

WHEN: Let's come together to bridge cultural, digital and other divides on the 3rd Sundays of each month at 12:30PM to 2:30PM. 3rd Sundays in 2012 are: Jan. 15, Feb. 19, Mar 18, April 15, May 20, June 17, July 15, Aug. 19, Sept. 16, Oct. 21, Nov. 18, Dec. 16, 2012.

WHERE: at the Burma Restaurant, 740 6th Street, N.W. 2nd floor, Washington D.C. 20001. Free admission and networking; self-pay for your food or drink. (directions are below)
