DC Linkup is a unique social group whose fundamental basis is courtesy, consideration and accountability.
We take RSVPs to events very seriously, because we want everyone in the group to have confidence in each other, and to be able to plan events based on this confidence.
After all, don't you want people to show up if they say they'll show up, and don't you prefer people you can truly count on?
