Meetings

Regular dinner meetings

The first Monday of the month (Sept. through June) at 6:30 p.m., Crowne Plaza Baltimore (formerly the Timonium Holiday Inn Select)

Board meetings

The second Monday of the month at 7:30 p.m., N. H. Yates & Co., 117-C Church Lane, Cockeysville, Md. Board meetings are open to all members.

A reservation is required for dinner meetings—our Call Committee contacts members a week prior to ask if they will attend. We welcome people who are interested in becoming a member and would like to learn more about the club. However, prospective members should contact VP of Membership Jim Righter (410-557-0468) or another member before coming so that arrangements can be made with the hotel.

Our dinner meetings combine business and pleasure. Members and guests arrive between 6:00 and 6:30 p.m. to socialize before being seated promptly at 6:30 for dinner. A cash bar is available. Dinner meetings generally end by 8:30 p.m.

The program for regular meetings includes the presentation of our Student of the Month and usually an informative guest speaker. Special dinners are scheduled for major programs such as celebration of Youth Appreciation Week and the Essay and Oratorical Contests.
