I made a mistake in updating last year’s banquet ticket prices and failed to change the “Mailing a check” prices. I am so sorry to all of you who were confused on how to place your RSVP! The problem has now been fixed. Please CLOSE your web browser, and RELOAD the order page! You should see the new credit pricing!

2023 Awards Banquet RSVP NOW!!!
The 2023 Awards Banquet tickets are now on sale. This year we are offering boxed meals from Little Miami Catering!
There are tons of food choices, sandwiches and croissants, salads and wraps, and there should be something for everyone! You can even choose side dishes and meats!
We know that not everyone feels comfortable with food choices like these, so again this year we are offering a “Non meal” option. We will still be supplying drinks and desserts for everyone, so the non-meal choice still has a cost associated, but we are hopeful that we will all have a wonderful time at our own comfort levels!
As we did in previous years, again this year we are offering a Paypal payment option, or a mail-in check option. BOTH must be done through the website! This is your chance to RSVP!
