February 19, 1999

Begin your stay in Washington, D.C., for APA's 1999 annual meeting by enjoying an elegant reception and a nocturnal tour of the city's most imposing sites. At the same time you'll be benefiting important charitable and educational programs linked to your profession.

These activities will be held Saturday, May 15, and are sponsored by the American Psychiatric Foundation in conjunction with the American Psychiatric Association Auxiliary.

The reception will be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the beautiful new International Trade Center and Ronald Reagan Building. The Pavilion Room, with doors leading to a balcony, overlooks Woodrow Wilson Plaza.

Following the reception will be a bus tour of Washington, D.C.'s, major sites, which look even more grand when illuminated at night. While on board the luxury tour bus, you'll enjoy champagne, pastries, and fruit served by a formally attired waiter. Among the sites along the route are the White House, U.S. Capitol, Library of Congress, U.S. Supreme Court building, Lincoln Memorial, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, John F. Kennedy Center, Washington Monument, Jefferson Memorial, and the new Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial.

Proceeds from this benefit will support programs of the American Psychiatric Foundation and the APA Auxiliary.

Additional information and a ticket order form will be published in future issues of Psychiatric News.
