Hi Friends of CCI,
Surprise! Our RMMA Russian women have had fascinating receptions as they have traveled across the country discussing issues related to bottom-up U.S.-Russia diplomacy. Some 75 to 100 meetings have left no time to post since Atlanta. We still do not have a spare minute.
Today, Russian Orthodox Easter Eve, our Russian friends leave the San Francisco Bay Area and fly to Washington, D.C. for their last stop. Easter Sunday morning they will be speaking at the Bethesda Unitarian Universalist Church.
On April 9 they will be in Columbia and Annapolis where a number of meetings will occur. On April 10 we will meet with Washington insider Paul Saunders at National Interest to discuss the necessity for bottom-up diplomacy. Next we will meet with Senator Rand Paul’s top people, then have a meeting with Ed and Tatiana Lozanski to try to understand what people inside the Beltway are thinking. We have a number of meetings scheduled with NGO’s, George Mason University students and Congressional offices. As soon as our Russian presenters depart for Russia, you will get an assessment of what we have learned from Dallas, Fort Worth, the Bay Area and Washington.
Our ladies are leaving a trail of goodwill wherever they go!
