Lately, the response to our dinner meetings
has been REALLY terrific. However, I have not been having many people let
me know that they are coming, which complicates things.
An RSVP makes it easier for us to arrange seating and for us to be able to try
to get enough tables together. It also makes life a bit easier for the
business we meet up at. They like to have an idea of how many to expect.
If you are considering attending one of our dinner/social
events, please contact me using the information in our newsletter, or this
website to let me know.
Thank you for your interest in our events and for your participation.
