Last week, GovLoop hosted a great, what-we-hope-will-be-annual event in tandem with the Washington City Paper and the Combined Federal Campaign of the National Capital Area. We dubbed it the “Lend a Hand Happy Hour” and held it at the U Street Music Hall. Heineken sponsored the beverages and the Hall had some delish appetizers.
The idea behind the event was simple: get Federal employees in the same room with non-profits so they can get to know the people behind the organizations where they give their money every year. And the event was a smashing success: 200 Federal employees met representatives from 30 non-profits agencies. So if you want to see some govies having a blast and doing good all at the same time, check out the photos and video below.
By the way, if you attended the event, here are your 2 next steps:
1. JOIN GOVLOOP (and put “I rocked Lend a Hand” under “How did you find out about GovLoop?”)
If you join GovLoop today, I will send you some sweet GovLoop swag (t-shirt, lanyard, etc.). Giving and receiving in return – that’s what it’s all about!
Thanks for being awesome and generous in this year’s CFCNCA.
