This dinner differs from our usual dinners in that it will be a sit down format rather than a buffet meal. The cost, which is a little higher than for our typical meetings, is $40 per person, including tax, but excluding gratuities. PAYMENT MAY BE MADE: by credit card on line, or by check, cash or credit card at the door. Either way, prior registration is essential as we need to provide a pre-headcount to our dining club host.
Dress is business casual. You are encouraged to bring your spouse and other guests, especially if those guests are prospective members or are members who attend the dinners infrequently.
If you have any additional concerns, questions or suggestions about the event, please contact me, via text/cell: 727-771-3712.
Presentation of the Colors at this dinner will be by a Color Guard from the Carolina Forest High School JROTC.
Sincerely,
John Bradley, CDR, USN (ret)
