December 21, 2011 Holiday Party

Hello everyone,

You are invited to the 2011 EVADC Holiday Party. I have secured the National Inventors Hall of Fame and Museum at the Patent and Trademark Office in lovely Alexandria, VA for our party. The event will be on December 21st, starting sharply at 7:00pm and going until 10:00pm. The museum is located directly inside the Madison Building located at 600 Dulany St, Alexandria, VA, 22314. The location is metro accessible from King St. Metro. There are two Level-2 Chargers located within a short walking distance from the PTO as well as there are plenty of 110 outlets located in the adjacent parking garages.

The National Inventors Hall of Fame and Museum features a display of the 460 National Inventors Hall of Fame Inductees. Large panels present the names of all Inductees, and an interactive kiosk allows visitors to learn more about each Inductee. The Hall of Fame and kiosk shares with visitors the significance of the inductees' life-changing work and also the importance of their induction into the National Inventors Hall of Fame. The Museum currently features: Exercising Ingenuity: Inventions in Health and Fitness. This new exhibition is a tribute to the importance the health, fitness, and nutrition industries have played in American lives over the years. Exercising Ingenuity highlights the historic advances, current trends, and future technologies relating to a healthier body and mind.

Walking instructions from Metro

When you arrive at King street and exit through the main metro station doors you should be looking at the kiss and ride parking lot and the bus pickup. Across the street you will see the Embassy Suits hotel. When you exit the King street station, just follow the side walk to your right, it will take you up a short hill and from there you will see a red light and main busy intersection of Duke street, just keep walking to the right and follow the side walk through big iron gates, it will lead you down to an underground tunnel that will take you under Duke street so that you don't have to cross that busy intersection. When you come out the other side just continue to follow the side walk (to the right). You will come up on another red light. Continue walking straight across. Follow the side walk straight a block further and you should be within the USPTO Campus with a green grassy middle area surrounded by buildings. Straight a head of you should be a building with a huge glass atrium, that is the madison building, just keep following the side walk until you get to the main entrance of that building. When you enter madison building, turn right and there is the USPTO Museum where the meeting will be held.
