14.      Do I need to pre-pay for this event?

a.       It is preferred for you to pre-pay because:

           i.      It helps us to know how many tables and chairs to rent

           ii.      It helps us to know the amount of supplementary food to order (e.g. desserts, drinks, etc.)

b.      Pre-paid participants get priority on the food line. Pay-at-the-door participants will wait until all pre-paid participants go through the food line first.

c.       Pre-pay guarantees you a seat! The event has limited occupancy, so if you show up at the door and capacity has been filled, you will be turned away! Secure your spot by pre-paying now.

d.      If you do not pre-pay, the price is much higher at the door (see question #2).
