	eet 'n Greet" Social Hour over delicious dinner. We'll also take atten

	~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ IMPORTANT RE
	MINDERS ~~ 1. Meal Purchase Requirement - NO EXCEPTIONS\, PLEASE! The 
	restaurant management reminds me that ALL restaurant patrons (includin
	g the Organizer and the Speakers) are expected to purchase dinners\, w
	hile using their venue for any events\, in order not to incur losses f
	rom the "anticipated" profits. Please bear in mind that the restaurant
	 is a for-profit entity\, NOT a public domain\, such as public library
	\, etc. The restaurant managements have been very accommodating to our
	 group's needs\, i.e.\, separate billings\, free private rooms\, etc.\
	, and I don't wish to "dampen" our great working relationships with th
	em and not being able to use their venues for our future events. In al
	l honesty\, their request is fair\, to the restaurant owner and servin
	g staff\, and we'll all do exactly the same if we're "in their shoes".
	 We're all mature professionals and will do the "right" thing. Reminde
	r: You are NOT required to purchase the most expensive dish on the men
	u for your OWN meal!! :-) Thank you for your understanding. 2. Group A
	ctivity Contribution Fee - $1.00 per person (including Organizer\, Spe
	aker and Guests). The accumulated fund will be used for the Speakers' 
	Thank-You gift cards (NOMINAL AMOUNT)\, Annual Appreciation Dinner and
	 Special Awards for Top Speakers\, necessary group activity-related ex
	penses\, and the administration fees PAYABLE to Meetup.com (a for-prof
	it entity) for keeping our group on an ACTIVE status!! Our Organizer a
	nd Speakers are NOT compensated for their dedicated voluntary services
	. Every penny collected will be spent on all group-related expenditure
	s. 3. "YES" RSVPs - Confirmation Required By 6:00pm on THURSDAY as Pro
	fessional Courtesy to the Speaker and a Head Count for the Hosting Res
