Why we charge for Chamber Lunches

At our Chamber, we believe in transparency and sustainability. Charging for Chamber Lunches allows us to cover essential costs and provides valuable experiences for our members. Here’s why: Cost Recovery: Hosting lunches involves expenses such as venue rental, catering, staff time, and materials. By charging a nominal fee, we ensure that these costs are covered.

1. Quality Events: Paid lunches enable us to organize high quality
   events. We can bring in speakers, offer better
   amenities, and create memorable experiences for attendees
   while supporting our food service members.
2. Non-Dues Revenue: Lunch fees contribute to our non-dues
   revenue, which supports other chamber initiatives,
   programs, and services.
3. Inclusivity: While we charge, we also strive to keep fees
   reasonable. Each lunch will cost $20.00 for members and
   $25.00 for non-members.
4. If you would rather pay upfront, we are offering a
   Lunch Meal Plan for $230 a year. There will be NO
   refunds if you do not attend.
