Don’t forget, the next Rockville Roundtable will be held on Wednesday, May 13, at 12:30 pm. We will meet at the new Indian restaurant in Town Square: Spice Xing. That’s on Gibbs Street.

What is the Rockville Roundtable? I am glad you asked that. It’s just an informal lunch. We meet every month, always on a different day (so different people can come). It’s come-as-you-are, very casual, there are no speeches, it’s low pressure, and some people even say it’s fun! There is usually about a dozen of us, but sometimes our numbers grow. Why, look, there’s a photo from our last lunch.

It’s just a chance to get together and talk about anything that seems interesting.

Hope to see you on the 13th! If you think of it, please shoot me an email rsvp’ing, but if you forget, don’t worry: just show up.

See you there!

Yesterday, the infamous Rockville Roundtable met for our monthly itinerant lunch, this time at the Hollywood Diner on Rockville Pike.

We had a great time, enjoyed fabulous conversation, and generally had a great time. Watch this space for information on the next Rockville Roundtable.

Here is our take on the afternoon:

The Roundtable is just an informal lunch, each time on a different day and at a different place. Anyone is welcome, there are no speeches or anything fancy, and it is usually a blast. Our numbers have been growing slowly but surely.

See you at the next one!

We look forward to seeing you there! If you think of it, it would be helpful to rsvp by sending me an email. But if you forget, don’t worry. Just come!

Just a note to let everyone know that the next Rockville Roundtable will be Monday, March 9 at 12:30. It will be somewhere in Twinbrook, but I have not yet determined where (give me ideas! It works best if people pay when they get their food, rather than table service).

The Roundtable is just  an informal lunch, each time on a different day and at a different place. Anyone is welcome, there are no speeches or anything fancy, and it is usually a blast. Our numbers have been growing slowly but surely, and this month’s first-anniversary meetingwas the largest yet. (There we are.)
Watch this space for the location, which I should have nailed down in a few days.

Thank You For Coming To Rockville Roundtable’s First Anniversary

Today we had a wonderful time at the first anniversary party for the Rockville Roundtable, which we held where it all began at Austin Grill in Town Square.

Most of these folks have been meeting together each month for an informal lunch, each time on a different day and at a different place. Anyone is welcome, there are no speeches or anything fancy, and it is usually a blast. Our numbers have been growing slowly but surely, and today’s lunch was the largest yet. (Hey, look! That’s us!)

I want to thank everyone who comes, and in particular the special people who have been supporters from the beginning and who keep encouraging me to keep it going. I won’t name names, becuase it is not that kind of gathering — but you know who you are.

Watch this space for date and location of the next Rockville Roundtable!
