"Seating Only" Guidlines: If you plan to attend the luncheon but do not plan to eat, please indiciate "Seating Only" on your RSVP ($5.00 Charge). FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN A CHARGE FOR LUNCH (see prices above).

In addition, due to the way that Green Pastures "counts" our plates at the luncheons, please note that if you have a "Seating Only" reservation you MUST sit at the designated Non-Eating table or CAPA will be required to charge you the normal rate.

Luncheon Cancellation Policy ~ LUNCHEON CANCELLATIONS must be received prior to 12:00 p.m. on the Thursday before our luncheon; no-show's and late cancellations will be charged the full price of the luncheon meal.

If you make a reservation but are unable to attend, CAPA is still responsible for the cost of your luncheon -- so please make arrangements for payment if you fail to cancel by the deadline noted above.

As CAPA sometimes has a luncheon waiting list for members who were unable to sign up before the deadline, please let CAPA know even if you must cancel your luncheon plans with us later than the deadline.

The fee for returned checks will be commensurate to fees assessed by the bank.
