Hello Neighbors,

Washingtonian Woods Virtual Trivia Night, Take 2!
Date: Saturday, April 11, 2020
Time: 8:30pm
Location: Virtual Zoom Link to follow; Will be sent to all those who register in advance

If you enjoyed the last Washingtonian Woods Virtual Trivia Night on 3/28 (or missed it), we have another scheduled for…tomorrow night, 4/11/20!  A few weeks ago, we had 30 families who participated and it came down to the last (of 100!) question to determine who’s the “most trivial” family in our neighborhood. This is an event you won’t want to miss!

Elizabeth Franzino (who earned the “Silver Medal” a few weeks ago!) will be our quizmaster. She has 75 questions all primed and ready to throw at us. So, buckle up, get ready, and get your brains dusted off in time for tomorrow night’s big, fun event!

Click here to register by 7 PM on Saturday (4/11), and then a Zoom link will follow:

Special thanks to Dan Goldsamt, Elizabeth Franzino, Lisa Levin, Jennifer Wenk, their families, and the Social Committee for helping put these wonderful events together.

Hope to see you online, and hope you are all safe and well.

Thank you,
