MONTHLY MEETINGS
Our monthly meetings are in-person on the last Tuesday of each month. Each meeting is held from Noon to 1:30 pm and lunch is served. Each month a different topic and speaker is featured. Registration is required and helps us to plan accurately.
In addition to excellent programs, monthly meetings include a catered lunch. The fee for AFP members is $5 per meeting. Non-members may register for a fee of $30.
In the event you have already registered and need to cancel, we kindly request that you please let our Chapter Administrator know at least 24 hours in advance. Most meetings take place Tuesdays at noon, so please let the Chapter Administrator know by 12:00 the Monday before the meeting.
We hope you will join us! We’re looking forward to seeing you.
