    About Me
    I've been living in the DC Metro area since 98. Grew up poor and lived in Philly (26 yrs.) I currently teach middle school kids. After 15 years of teaching reading, I finally pursued a 2nd masters and got my reading specialist certificate in 12/07. Hoping to use that piece of paper to create an after school reading academy for kids. I have 3 cats, Oreo and Rusty and Negra, collect postcards, honest to a fault, willing to try ALMOST ANYTHING once, Loyal to those who are deserving of such loyalty. Fascinated by all cultures. I don't see race; I see(dead)people. LOVE road trips and MUSIC and brownies and seafood and buffalo wings and DANCING. I also love to sing, but I SUCK.
    Why I joined
    This is a great way to meet new people.
    My Best MEETin event story ( please only fill in after you have been to an event )
    Halloween Party '04 was AWESOME!!!! This was the first BIG event I had done. All of the people were great and friendly. Even though I did not know anyone except Joy, I could walk up to and talk with anyone. Some how I missed Willie dressed up like a girl but I did see George dressed like Ali G and I wished I had a camera since my boyfriend at the time loved the show. The haunted house was COOL. From the outside, I didn't know WHAT was going on inside that shed. Picot was a cool host and nice enough to have the event at her place. I was Cleopatra and my friend was a cat for anyone who remembers:-) This "strange silly dude" with blood and mask on came up to me but when I saw him later without his mask I didn't recognize him. At the time, I didn't know this person was our fearless leader, the one and only mIKEY:-)A bunch of people were wearing WIFE BEATERS. I didn't know what that was about:-)Ebony was nice enough to give me and my "cat" a ride to the metro but she was on her way to another party at 2 am. Man, I can't believe how much I and my life have changed since this event:-) VA Beach trip July 05 Here's a word montage for you. rockerfellas, room 214, pool party, the grill queen, chef dana, keep away in the pool guys vs girls, how many meetinDCers and meetin va beach peeps can you fit on one floation device? help, i am drowning, 80 mph race back to hotel against King and company, no cursing sign, sushi, a vicious rumor that some meetindc folks went skinny dipping:-), group shower after night swimming, who is that naked person running around on beach? greek god hottie at beach, getting sun at beach, sand every where, beautiful blonde and dana, vomit on balcony, jenga, lap dance, detour trip on sunday, no traffic on way back, priceless:-) LAKE ANNA-SPEECHLESS Amsterdam and Paris 05, SPEECHLESS

    CharAnn was awesome in organizing our new member event. She's so fun to talk to and open; we warmed up quickly on that chilly night at DCs Waterfront.

    <-( Han says ;-)
    I met CharAnn at a newbie event. She is an exceptionally warm and gracious hostess and a cool, funny and fun person to hang out with. I hope to catch up with her some more at future events.

    <-( Rob says ;-)
    I've hung out with CharAnn a couple of times and let me tell you, this girl can PARTY! She's one of the best dancers I've ever met. She's also really sweet and fun to talk to. Make sure CharAnn is one of the first meeps you meet.

    <-( Jeff says ;-)
    CharAnn did a great job of organizing our happy hour and seamlessly going to plan B when the event had to be moved. Looking forward to your next event!

    <-( Kamala says ;-)
    I met CharAnn when I was traveling on business in DC. Who says you can't mix business with pleasure. The DC chapter rocks and members like CharAnn show me what is cool about Meetin. I always have a special place in my heart for people who try to make the world a better place through education and CharAnn is one of them. Oh, btw- I am totally sincere about helping you get the youth production program going. I am going to experiment with web conferencing in the next couple of weeks. I will keep you posted to do a webinar with your students. Yeah!

    CharAnn is a genuinely nice and caring person. I've met her at a Dim Sum brunch and the new member dinner at Jaleo. She is a great facilitator and an asset to the Meetin organization!

    <-( Mike says ;-)
    Char Ann Was very nice meeting you and feasting on tapas at Jaleos! You really put everyone at ease and were a super host. Hope to see you at future events. Mike W

    <-( John says ;-)
    Woman...!

    <-( MiDCNewsletter says ;-)
    THANK YOU, CharAnn, for helping to make me possible! Without you I would be a lonely typewriter looking for something to write :-)

    <-( Brijette says ;-)
    If there's someone in MeetIn that I admire for their warmth, openness, generosity, and welcoming spirit, it's CharAnn. Not many people float with ease from person to person at a party, but she does. That's quite a special quality. I think she is the perfect ambassador for MeetIn and plays the perfect New Member hostess at all times. She made me feel welcome from the very beginning and I am honored to call her a friend. :-)

    <-( Brooke says ;-)
    Charann is someone that intrigues you right upon meeting her, and leaves you wanting to get to know her better. And I'm so glad I'm getting that chance! I was immediately drawn to how real she seemed, and have continued to be impressed by the calm kindness she always exudes. She possesses a grace that you can't help but notice!

    <-( Sara says ;-)
    I don't quite rememvber when I first met CharAnn - she just attends/hosts so many fabulous events! She is one of the friendliest Meeps out there, and she livens up any event with her grace and humor! Plus, she is a fantastic cook!

    <-( Angel says ;-)
    I think CharAnn is great (as an attendee or host). She's never the loudest person in the group but you'll know she's there because she always tries to make sure she connects with everyone. She has a great sense of inclusion that is unmatched. And when she does talk to you, she offers substance rather than just banter. If you're ever at an event with her and know no one else, say hello if she hasn't gotten to you first.

    <-( Jordan says ;-)
    For my very first MeetIn event, I was lucky to have CharAnn as the organizer. She was an exceptionally gracious, friendly, and welcoming hostess. She broke the ice with everyone and the conversation then flowed beautifully for the rest of the night. I found her to be a wonderful person, and I hope to host an event soon where I can try to maintain the high bar she set as event organizer.

    <-( Michael Gabriel says ;-)
    CharAnn is a party gal. Her coolest moment I can remember is distracting the singers of Karaoke in Austin, but it so funny ;)

    <-( Sara says ;-)
    CharAnn is just sooooo mucjh fun to be with! Plus, she makes a mean chicken curry!

    <-( surendra says ;-)
    CharAnn is a great organiser and very adorable. She takes care of every member.Just great.

    <-( sherry says ;-)
    CharAnn hosted a Newbie event that I went to. She's welcoming and inviting and just genuinely nice. If you ever see her, make sure you say Hi.

    <-( Bonnie says ;-)
    CharAnn, CharAnn. What can I say accept that if you don't know anyone, she's the one to meet first. We met last night and by the time the night was over, my husband and I had met 100% more people than we would have on our own. Thanks CharAnn! Looking forward to seeing you again soon!

    <-( Dave says ;-)
    I enjoyed meeting CharAnn at the 'Newbies' social and was lucky enough to get a seat right next to her. She seems like a lot of fun to be around...
