Join Us For Lunch At The Library! 
The Conference Committee has arranged with a non-profit organization to serve lunch at the conference. 

The lunch menu includes: 
Turkey & HAM sandwich, chips, fresh fruit, pickle, cookie and either water or soda. 

Lunch is $10.00 and must be purchased in advance for the following reasons: 
1) McMillan Public Library policy states that no money exchanges can occur during events held at the library. 
To respect the policy of the library, no money will be exchanged the day of and all meals must be 
pre-ordered/prepaid
 though the registration process. 

2) In addition we must be able to give an accurate count to
 the organization preparing the lunch, while 
ensuring that we have seating available for those who have purchased it. 

Lunch is a great time to socialize plus we will be giving away super door prizes (you must be present to win). 
You won’t want to miss it! 

Join Us For Dinner! 
Following the conference at 5 PM there will more time to socialize at the Lake Aire Supper Club. 
Dinner is on your own—order off of the menu. We will take a head count at the conference.
