WASHINGTON, DC (PRWEB) September 22, 2004 -- DC Webwomen (DCWW) launch a new, free series, Put it in Practice, by hosting internet guru and author Tara Calishain at an informal meet & greet on Monday, September 27 at Teaism -- Penn Quarter beginning at 6:30 pm.

This series is designed to focus on practical applications of technology for everyday use -- whether the user is a tech guru or tech novice. In announcing this new initiative (Put it in Practice) Mary Fumento, DCWW President, says: Our goal is for participants to not only learn more about the subject matter, but to network, to be inspired to write and present themselves, and to make connections with the vast amount of information out there that will ultimately make its way back to our work."

And Tara is the ideal guest for the first of this series. Tara Calishain's new book, "Web Search Garage," is for the Internet user who wants to be a driver, not a back-seat passenger, on the road to information.
