Pictures from the American Foreign Services Officers Association Day

Yesterday,  we shared some of what happened when Joan and I represented Collington at the AFSA day at the State Dept last week.  Now come the pictures, mainly taken in the Reception Rooms.  We have some quite nice stuff at Collington, but this outclasses us just a little bit!

We, and Collington, were made to feel very welcome indeed.  We look forward to a strengthening and  mutually helpful relationship with the Association. There is a reason we already advertise extensively and regularly in the Journal.

Special tour of these Reception Rooms, anyone?  Tour of Collington for AFSA folks?
