INVITING GUESTS TO MEETINGS

You are welcome to bring a guest to our monthly meetings as long as they meet our membership criteria and you confirm the guest invitation with the WWRC meeting planner by the RSVP date. We kindly ask that you refrain from bringing the same guest more than once. Due to space limitations, some meeting venues allow for only member attendance.
