DCALS' 2011 HOLIDAY BANQUET --- WEDNESDAY,

 

 DECEMBER 7, at MAGGIANO'S

Everyone is invited to attend DCALS Eleventh Annual Holiday Banquet and Meeting --- this December 7th at Maggiano's in Friendship Heights.

 

Our program will be a 'Ride Across Time,' covering more than a century of local-area history, much-forgotten today but captured through cameras --- guided by Helen Marler, curator of a VAST but little-known privately-owned collection of photographs, slides, transparencies, prints, negatives, postcards, aerial-photos and other assorted images numbering more than ONE-MILLION items --- that document the everyday life and rapid development of our Washington - Northern Virginia region from the 1880s to the 1990s.

 

Dinner cost, for Maggiano's HOLIDAY FEAST, is only $45 if you register by the cutoff date of December 4. On-line registration won't be available for a couple more days --- but you can register right now by email or fax. Please see attached flyer for all details.

 

Kindly plan to join us on December 7 at Maggiano's. It should be an interesting, informative, enjoyable evening. Helen Marler's unique presentation has been enthusiastically well-received by others in the area, and we are looking forward to another memorable DCALS holiday event. See you there.

 

With warmest professional regards,

 

DCALS

DCALS 10th Anniversary Dinner!

Pictures for Birthday bash are now posted Click Here

DCALS had a great turn out for May 13, 2011 seminar!!!

DCALS offered knowledgeable instructors for your continuing education. Surveying in District of Columbia is different than surveying in original 13 States, FEMA changes with flood zone changes, monitoring with adjacent buildings and roads has to be understood. These courses were for your benefit. Thanks to DCALS Board of Directors, Intsructors and the people who understood gaining more knowledge in their course of study was needed.
