Is there a non-google location to link to? Is this a hangout on air?
Generally you should avoid sending tweets that start with a ref to another twitter user. (but in thus case it would still show on timelines because of the hashtags. I think)
Anyway, maybe tweet from @wikieval and then we RT instead of writing our own?

Definitely a +1 on the how to start a tweet: you shouldn't use another Twitter user's name as the first word in the tweet unless you're replying directly to them. Otherwise, only s/he, and the people who follow you both, will see your tweet.
Stylistically, it's usually worth it to try rewriting -- for example, "Join us next Tuesday for an new virtual event! @WikiEval hosts an Impact Review for 2013-14 grants. <link>
I would also recommend against generic hashtags -- they are harder for users to read, and have shown diminishing returns as a navigational tool. They tend to work best for ongoing themes, like #wikieval, or event-specific tags, like #wikimania14.
