           Conference Report & Rand Recordings

At the Wednesday July 28th WMOD meeting there will be
a discussion of the Institute for Objectivist Studies (IOS)
Summer Seminar that was held at the University of Vermont
during the week of July 3. In addition, some 1960s vintage
Ayn Rand audio recordings will be played. 
                  
                 June WMOD Meeting

Thanks again to Sam Smith, the editor of "The Progressive
Review" for his talk "Why Bother"  that previewed his new
book in progress. Over 30 folks turned out to hear Sam
and the discussion lasted until the restaurant closed at
10 pm.  You can read more about Sam's ideas at 
http://prorev.com or contact him by email at SSmith@igc.org.
                  

                When and Where is the WMOD Meeting?

     Please join WMOD on Wednesday, July 28.  Anyone who is
interested in rational discussion of Ayn Rand's ideas is welcome.
Note that our meeting location is Metro accessible.  You can
either join us for drinks at 6:30 with dinner at 7 PM and/or for
the talk (free) at 8:15 PM at the Hunan Palace in Rosslyn, VA
just across the Key Bridge from Georgetown.  The street address is
1812 North Moore Street.  If you come by Metro, get off at the
Rosslyn Metro Exit and the Hunan Palace is only a few feet away.
Take the street exit on N. Moore Street (across street from Roy
Rogers/Burger King), go out of Metro and take a left, and the
Palace is a few feet down N. Moore Street.  If you drive, there is
a parking garage (Allstate) next door to the Palace that is free after
6:00 PM.  Due to construction you must go down the ramp to the
underground level.  There will be a $15 fixed price dinner (including
tax and tip), or you can order from the menu.  
Please RSVP to WMOD at (703) 820-7696 before
noon on Wednesday 7/28 so that we can tell the restaurant how
many tables to set up and how many to expect for dinner.  For more
information, call the Hunan Palace at (703) 528-8188, or call 
David Saum at (703) 820-7696 (W) or (703) 671-5119 (H).  

               Future Meetings

     WMOD meetings are generally held on the third Wednesday of each
month.  We are always looking for new stimulating meeting topics
related to Objectivism.  Please contact WMOD if you have suggestions
for meeting topics and locations, or if you can volunteer some time to
arrange meetings.
