Reservations by March 21 are required for this event: All seats are assigned for this event—there are not any open, unassigned seats, so please check-in at the event registration desk to get your seat assignment and table placement information.

Because all seats are reserved for specific individuals, please do not remove any chairs or place settings from a table–contact Kim Pewitt Jones if there is a problem.at kejones.university@gmail.com

*You may pay at the door ONLY via check or EXACT CASH, but to assure you have a seat, you need to make your reservation or send an email to pirtlemk@yahoo.com

Tickets are $60 each(includes dinner, tea, coffee, water and program). A cash bar will be available for soft drinks and alcoholic beverages. You may pay via CC without a fee at https://spjfw23rdbanquet.eventbrite.com

If you make a reservation, and aren’t able to come, payment will still be necessary. We have to pay for all RSVPs, so no refunds will be available.

*Table Sponsorships:

*Our table sponsors allow our scholarship winners to bring a guest and come without paying a fee. So, if you do not give individual names for each person to be seated at your sponsored table, we will seat scholarship winners and their guests in those seats.

***Please be aware that if you name any scholarship winners are to sit at your table, they are allowed to bring a guest, which means you need two chairs at your sponsored table for each scholarship winner–there are only 8 chairs per table available. All tables will be set for specific individuals, so we will not be able to take chairs or settings from other tables in order to seat all our guests. They will be seated at another table with their guest.***

To become a table sponsor, please choose your level, which are listed and explained below. You can pay via credit card with no fee at the link below:

***We need to know the names of all people who will sit at your table by March 24. We provide seats for student scholarship winners at sponsored tables that have open seats, so please get the names of your guests to us on time, so we know where we can seat our students.

*** All seats are assigned for this event, so please make sure to check-in at the event registration desk to get your seat assignment even if you have been told ahead what table you will sit at. We need to know how many are at each table to tell the dining service.
