At 6:45, tables will begin to be called by number (your name tag will have your table number on it) and escorted to the banquet area for dinner. Until your table is called, feel free to continue enjoying the reception!
Please feel free to invite as many people as you would like; the cost for them to attend is $30 per person, which includes the reception and dinner.
Seating is limited so early reservations are strongly recommended. Reservations may be made by contacting Brett Stell at brettstell@gmail.com.
