Registration and Check-in
Because there is only room for a limited number of participants at each meeting, members and guests are encouraged to pre-register to guarantee a spot! Online registration is available by check or credit card and is $15 for the monthly meeting. If you must pay at the door, there will be a $5 surcharge ($20).
Please arrive on time and plan to stay throughout the meeting. If you must leave early, please alert your chapter leader ahead of time.
No-Show Policy:
Because the breakfast meetings are limited seating events, attendance is first come, first served. We often have a waiting list, so if you don’t show up, you are keeping someone else from attending. If you must cancel, please give 24 hours’ notice so that your seat can be filled.
We know that sometimes you have every intention of coming and at the last minute something prevents you, however, without 24 hours’ notice, you will still be responsible for payment. If you have paid via online registration, no refund be issued. If you RSVP that you will pay at the door, you will be sent an invoice for $15. After two no- shows, further participation in the club will be at the discretion of the chapter leader.
Membership
Guests are welcome to attend twice before deciding to join*. Should you decide to become a member immediately following your first visit, you will be entitled to $10 off the annual administrative fee of $35. Fee includes online directory listing, membership plaque, embossed business card portfolio and name badge.
*Subject to chapter leader participation. Chapters are independently owned and operated.
What to Bring
Of course, you will want to have plenty of business cards on hand, but also feel free to bring any brochures or flyers or other small promotional items for the general display table. You may also want to bring your checkbook because after attending your first meeting, you will be enticed to join with a first meeting enrollment discount.
