Exclusive Briefing at U.S. Chamber of Commerce

February 1 & 2, 2006

Dear Cornerstone Member,

For the second year, an exclusive program in Washington, D.C. is being planned for Cornerstone New Jersey members to coincide with the State Chamber’s Annual Walk to Washington.  Highlights of the agenda include dinner with members of Congress on the evening of February 1 and a high-level briefing on February 2 at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the morning of the Congressional Dinner.

At the request of Cornerstone members, we will once again begin this special event with a 6:30 p.m. reception on the rooftop of the Hay-Adams Hotel, which offers a spectacular view of the White House.  Originally designed in the 1920s as a residential hotel, the Hay-Adams has preserved the ambiance of a distinguished private home on Lafayette Square.  At the reception, and the 7:30 p.m. dinner that follows, Cornerstone members will be provided with a unique opportunity to dine with members of the New Jersey Congressional delegation and other invited special guests.

In addition, we are arranging post-dinner options for Cornerstone members that will surely be memorable.

Breakfast will be offered the next morning and the day’s program will be highlighted by an exclusive 10 a.m. program at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which is adjacent to the Hay Adams Hotel.  We are working with U.S. Chamber staff on an up-to-the minute briefing on issues important to our members.  We hope to have key Hill leaders join us during the morning, and look forward to a welcome by Tom Donohue, President of the United States Chamber of Commerce.

Following the program at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, meetings for those interested will be arranged on Capitol Hill.  After that, you will have time to rest and prepare for the State
Chamber’s big event, the 69th Congressional Dinner, which begins with a reception at 6 p.m. followed by dinner at 7 p.m. for 1,900 of your closest friends.
