Upcoming Events 

August

Aug. 21: Dinner with 12 Strangers
Dinner with 12 strangers is a new tradition
 being brought to The Nation’s Capital Chapter by Ohio University! This 
great program has been growing all over North America. The idea is 
simple; attend a dinner with alumni to share a good meal, good 
conversation, and a good time.

 Our goal is to make our local 
OHIO community seem a little smaller by gathering alumni together for a 
great evening of socializing and networking.

 Come to Dinner with 12 Strangers and leave with 11 new friends!

 Nation’s Capital Chapter’s Dinner with 12 Strangers is taking place during D.C. Restaurant Week.
