If you find this list helpful, please forward this issue to a friend.
All networking events on this list are with groups in Northern Virginia that do not require membership fees.
Greetings! 

I realized after the fact that I had a couple of days of the weeks wrong. Namely for:
Lorton Business Connection
(Tuesday instead of Wednesday) and
Sterling Women
(Wednesday instead of Thursday).
The corrected events are below.

My apologies . . . I'm going to blame it on being on vacation :-)
 
A couple of groups are taking a break in January and information for a couple of the events is incomplete, so please check the website for that group or contact the organizer(s).
 
Happy New Year and Happy Networking!
Sonia
