DCATS Halloween Gala w/ special guests, DC Regional Trans Ladies' Community

Our annual Halloween Gala is back and we're looking forward to hosting and seeing everyone again. We've invited the Michelle and her DC Regional Trans Ladies group to join, us, this evening.
For those new to us, our Gala's are held at the Marriott in Fair Oaks. Our Gala's are coordinated with the staff and management of the Marriott. We meet in the lounge, for cocktail. Later, we'll do dinner, in the restaurant, for those that would like dinner.
The rest of the evening is spent socializing with everyone and meeting and making friends.
There is no fee to attend. You only pay for the food and beverages to enjoy.
We set a start time, of 5pm, however, you can show up, whenever you are ready and feel comfortable.
We'll have ladies arriving at 5pm and 9pm and everywhere in between.

For our Halloween Gala, you can chose to dress up in a costume if you'd like. We will be having a costume contest later in the evening and awarding prizes.
PLEASE REMEMBER. Costumes are optional. You DO NOT have to wear one to attend !! We want everyone to attend no matter what they wear. Please wear whatever you feel comfortable wearing.
However, if you chose to wear a costume. The Marriott is a public hotel with standards to maintain. Your costume should reflex those standards and values. Families with children should feel comfortable seeing you, in your costume.
Guest and dates are allowed to attend, with you. You are responsible for ensuring your guest / date, act and dress appropriate.
We will be having a costume contest, with the hotel Waitstaff and Bartenders as our judges.

We'll be setting up a link, if you'd like to have a hotel room, for the evening. The link will allow you to get a room, way below the cost of what you'll find on the Marriott's website. I'll post and send out that link as soon as the Marriott sends it to me.
If you have any questions, pleas contact one of the hosts.
