Evening MeetingCommon Questions

Is this a weekly meeting?Yes

Do members have to attend both the lunch and the evening meeting?No. Attend one or the other. Lunch members can attend both if they want. Evening members can attend the lunch meeting for the cost of the lunch (currently $10).

How are the two groups related? We’re all members of the same club, supporting the same charities and working on the same projects.


Evening MeetingCommon Questions

Is this a conflict with the Midtown Club? No. Different day. Different format. The Midtown club was founded to meet less frequently. Ours is to offer an alternative time and enhance engagement.

Will the evening meeting cause a lot of lunch members to switch?We think it will help existing members who normally do not attend lunches due to their business schedules. Otherwise, we assume that lunch members will continue to attend lunch meetings.

Are the dues different?The actual dues are the same but there is no meal cost for the evening.
