1Ticket Policy

All tickets are assigned a table number and held at Will Call. The deadline for reservations and/or cancellations is noon two working days before the event.  Tickets are not available at the door.  All tables of ten are charged at the member price.  We generally offer as many guest-priced tickets as a member requests; however, the Council reserves the right to enforce the limitations listed above or to determine specific ticket restrictions for any given event.  This is generally done for reasons of security.  For such events the Council will make every effort to be fair to all members.  Tickets are sold on a first-come first-served basis within membership categories until sold out.      

 

2 Publication discounts are listed HERE, and are subject to change. 

 

3 Donor, Patron and IC receptions begin half an hour before events.  Reception access can be restricted, most often for reasons of security.  The opportunity for a picture with the guest speaker is provided at the reception.  This is complimentary for IC members, $15 for all others. Donor memberships receive two reception passes.

 

4 Evening Seminars are more casual dinners and discussions with guest speakers open to Donor level members and above
