White House Tour Information Help?

Filed under: Personal/Family — Toni @ 8:59 pm

So I’m a dummy. Since I’m going to the Milbloggers Conference I thought “Great I can go on a tour of the White House”. I knew you had to go through your Representative but didn’t know it was for groups of 10 or more nor that you should schedule at least a month in advance. I’ve got 3 weeks and 3 days and maybe 3 others who would like to go on the tour.

Anybody out there got any suggestions or help to offer in this endeavor?

    Just call you Representative and explain that you only have about 4 persons, but that you MUST see the Capitol. If anyone can convince them, it will be you…..

  2. Toni- another thing is see if the young lady (usually it’s a young lady) working the desk in your rep’s office can network with another rep or a senator from across the hall and see if there are any groups who are short a few folks. Offer her something nice in return from your mutual home state that she likely misses. For example, if you were from Louisiana, a basket of pralines would be the perfect treat. A little charm goes a long way with those Washingtoniennes.
