We look forward to seeing you!

FAQs

Why do I need to pay a $5 fee? This event used to be free.

By asking you to contribute this small fee, we will be able to get a more accurate head count, which allows us to make our member receptions more sustainable. Costs for such events are high and based on an estimated headcount, not actual headcount. Over the years, we have had large amounts of food waste or not enough food. Having a more accurate head count will help us create a great reception. We look forward to celebrating with you.

I don’t want the tasting glass. Do I still need to pay the fee?

Yes, the reservation fee helps us get a more accurate count of who will attend and is required. You do not have to take a wine glass home with you after the event if you do not want to.

I want to bring a third person. Is that okay?
