The cost for members is $4.00 and for non-members is $6.00. Club members only may make dinner reservations on the Tuesday morning and Thursday afternoon preceding the dinner: call the Executive Director at 367-3079. Others may make reservations on the Friday preceding the dinner from 1:30-7:00 p.m. at the same phone number.
