Is it time to start worrying? As Sam mentioned, there are talks with two properties. For those who missed the meeting: The two hotels mentioned at the WSFA meeting are the Silver Spring Hilton and the Doubletree (apparently soon to be a Hilton) in Rockville. Mentioned at the WSFA meeting was the fact that the Rockville hotel person came down with kidney failure and was rather hurriedly rushed off to a hospital, hence the delay in working out the finer points. The Rockville property is adjacent to the Twinbrook Metro. There was discussion of the plusses and minuses of both hotels, but ultimately it seemed that either one would probably be fine for Capclave. Colleen and Sam Scheiner are optimistic about having a hotel signed fairly soon. mjw
