Due to increases in catering and room rental charges, the lunch fees have increased by $5. The board is currently looking at other locations in the Charlotte area to consider for future meetings. We welcome any suggestions or recommendations and as fees is one factor for looking at options we are also looking at other factors like service, access, parking, and overall convenience of the location for members to attend during lunch hours. We are also welcoming any suggestions for meeting presenters/topics.
