Thank you so much to all who attended the Fourth Annual Francaise Dinner. We were very pleased to be able to welcome so many fine folks to Gadsby's Tavern Restaurant last night. And we all looked fabulous, if I do say so myself! Here is a draft copy of the group photo, courtesy of our intrepid photographer Beth of BWPW Photography . It has not had the benefit of Beth's photo editing skills, but she wanted to give us all a preview quickly (thank you Beth!). Final copies of photos from last night will be available in a gallery set up by Beth. We will post the link online here on the website when it is available. We hope to see you at next year's dinner!

If the weather permits, we will take the picture in the outdoor courtyard at Gadsby's Tavern Restaurant. Our photographer, Beth of BWPW Photography , will take shots both with her camera and with Gloria's camera as backup. The photo from Gloria's camera will be made available shortly after the dinner, while the photos from Beth's camera will be professionally edited and available on her website. (Copies with a small watermark will be offered free of charge, while copies without the watermark can be purchased according to the pricing posted here .) Since we have 40 people attending the dinner, we ask that guests do not also attempt to take their own pictures of the whole group during this time, so as to ...

In preparation for the night's festivities, we wanted to address some questions that have arisen regarding changing space. Our venue, Gadsby's Tavern Restaurant, is located in a historic structure, and thus only has a small restroom available to their diners. As we are only occupying one of the tavern's three dining rooms that evening, we would ask people not to change on site. We do not wish to inconvenience the restaurant nor its other patrons, and we would like to be welcomed back to Gadsby's Tavern Restaurant for next year's Francaise Dinner, should we wish to have it there again. This is a fabulous venue for hosting a costumed event, and we would very much like everyone to have a great time, while still respecting the needs of the restaurant and of its other visitors. Because this is an event at a public place (rather than a private event in someone's home), and...
