Meeting Fees

Join Us For Networking Time/Dinner/Meeting
6:30 PM:
If you plan to join us for networking time, buffet dinner, and our
meeting, the buffet dinner fee will be $25. This is payable at the door
with advance reservations. Reservations must be called in by the
Thursday proceeding the meeting. Our meetings are always held the third
Tuesday of the month, except August, and December.

Without advance reservations, the dinner fee will be $30.00.

Please note, if you do make a dinner reservation and do not let us know
that you will not attend, PVA must bill you for dinner. This is due to
the fact PVA must pay the hotel for the called in meal count, we hope
you understand

If you cannot come to our networking time, and dinner you are welcome
to attend the meeting portion only. Your first two visits to the
meeting portion are complimentary.
