The Club Board has determined that we must change the member prices for our luncheon meetings to better cover our costs. Beginning with the first meeting of the new year on January 15, 2019, prices will be:
$35 for members who register online in advance. Online registration closes at 5PM the day before each luncheon meeting.
$40 for members who do not register in advance.
Tickets already purchased at the 2018 prices will be accepted. The price for visitors remains $40.
Please contact JT Forbus (VP of Club Service) if you have any questions or concerns about this change.
