It's in Washington, D.C. that members of the Chaîne gathered for meetings and camaraderie early in June, 2001. It was time once again for the annual meeting of the National Council. 

Those who arrived early were able to play golf at Maryland's Queenstown Harbor, join city tours, or just explore the city on their own.

Some scheduled extra time to drive out to The Inn a Little Washington to experience the brilliant cuisine and impeccable service of a restaurant often rated the best in the country.
