If you did not pre-register online, please arrive before 7:00 pm to ensure you get a meal. The restaurant provides a certain number of extra meals for walk-ins. Members arriving after the extra meals are sold can attend just the meeting portion for $15 (coffee and dessert) and will be seated at reserved seats towards the back of the banquet room. Any member arriving after 7:00 pm will need to locate the Director of Finance to check-in. The $15 option is not available for pre-registration. It is only available to those individuals who arrive after 7:00 pm and meals are no longer available.
