Dinner From 5:00 - 6:00 PM

5. Dinner Arrangements

Order what you wish from the menu at the restaurant cost.
The menu has a great selection of appetizers, sandwiches, salads and dinner choices. The prices are reasonable. We encourage more members to come early for dinner and network with other photographers. Being able to socialize and network with others is a great way to not only share tips, ideas and solutions, but also to become better acquainted, make friends, and work out possible future job sharing arrangements and opportunities.
