Dear Upcoming Dinner Attendee
  The following is a comprehensive list of answers to anticipated questions you may have for our dinner this Saturday, March 5  at Hidden Valley Country Club:

Where do I pick up my tickets?
The answer is at will call which will be a registration table outside of our banquet room.
Please note: Whiskey Tasting redemption this year is at the Merchandise Table (see below)

Are reservations still available if I know more who want to come? Can I change my dinner option?
The answer is no. Reservations are now closed because SADOE is charged for every meal ordered. HVCC is requesting the exact number of meals being ordered and there are no "overs" like we had in previous years.

I cannot make it. Are there any refunds?
Per our board policy, we do not issue refunds. SADOE is charged for every meal ordered. However if there is mitigating circumstances, the board will consider discussing the matter at its next meeting.
