Let's go visit the Embassy of South Africa!

I've made special reservations with the Embassy of South Africa, in anticipation of our upcoming trip, to meet with South African diplomats and receive an official country briefing to include the history, geography, culture, and tourism of South Africa! We will meet up and check in outside of the embassy at 12:30pm, and go in together at 1pm. I will also hand out books to those that have not yet received one yet.

This event is ONLY open to those that have signed up for the South Africa trip in August. It is NOT open to other members of our group. Please note that since the South Africa trip is a joint trip with the 30s & 40s Going Out Group and the 20s & 30s Going Out Group, members of those groups are also invited to this event. The average age will likely consist of those in their 30s.

Please RSVP so I have an accurate headcount I can give to the embassy.

See you there!

Metro and Parking

The closest Metro is Woodley Park (Red line), about a 15 - 20 minute walk. I suggest Metro / cabbing / Uber'ing if you can. I also recommend using wmata.com (http://www.wmata.com/) for travel planning. Don't forget to account for Metro, traffic, and parking delays. If you are driving, you will need to find street parking or a garage. I recommend using parkopedia.com (http://en.parkopedia.com/) for garage parking planning.

Event Check-in

I will have a master list of all those that have paid. It’s not required, but I recommend printing out your payment confirmation email as a backup (if you are not on the list, you will be required to show it). When you check-in, your RSVP will be listed under the name of the PayPal or credit card account used to make payment. Typically, this is your LEGAL name as shown on your driver's license. Sometimes, it may be under a company name if you set up your PayPal or credit card account that way. If you are not sure what it is, please log into your PayPal account (it will say "Welcome, [your account name]" at the top) or your credit card account to find out. If you are RSVP'd under someone else's payment, please use that name for check-in.

Special Needs

If you have any special needs (e.g. wheelchair, dietary for events with food included, etc.), let me know in advance (a week or more before the event) and I will do my best to accommodate (message me through my Meetup profile). If you let me know the day of the event, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to help. Thank you for understanding and I appreciate the courtesy of a heads up!
