- Can I attend an event as a guest before I make a decision about joining?
Yes. It’s a great way to get acquainted with us. Unless the event is restricted due to space limitation, you may participate as a guest to meet and greet club members. We frequently have “Adventure Dining” which is a great introduction. Be aware that for events over $25, a guest up charge in addition to the event cost is required. Because you are not yet a member, you won’t be able to sign up for events directly on the web site. Please call or email the event coordinator whose number/email is listed under the event and let them know you are a potential member and would like to sign up for an event.
