POLICY CHANGES FOR LUNCH & EVENT REGISTRATIONS
Aloha, Rotarians & Friends!  
 
To assist with the check-in process at our Lunch Meetings and Events, we will be requiring members and guests to pay at the time of registration.   Additionally, walk-ins will pay $50.
 
Why the change?  
  1. Our venue requires a pre-lunch headcount.  This helps them to insure they have enough food and seating for us. 
  2. The walk-in count has been so high that our gracious venue has been left scrambling to meet our needs. 
Remember our 4-Way Test - it is part of who we are: 
1. Is it the TRUTH?
2. Is it FAIR to all concerned? 
3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all?  
 
We set examples for others.  Our actions speak loudly.  Let's be FAIR and show our GOODWILL by planning ahead.    Mahalo!
