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.
