February 2011 Revised Policy on Paying for Dinner Meetings
In February, 2011, the Board voted unanimously on the following policies related to our dinner meetings:
The registration deadline for our dinner
meetings will be the Friday prior to the meeting at 4:30 PM. If you
want to attend but have missed the Friday deadline, you are welcome to
come as a "walk-in" but you must bring your own brown-bag dinner and
identify yourself as a "walk-in" at the door.
If you have pre-registered and pre-paid but
find you are unable to attend, we cannot refund your money or credit
your payment for a future dinner. (see # 4 below for one possible
remedy)
If you have pre-registered but not yet paid
and then find you cannot attend, you still owe us the money for the
dinner you ordered. Please remit $ 5.00 to reimburse us for your
Potbelly dinner cost us at your earliest convenience. (see # 4 below for
one possible remedy)
Pre-registered attendees who find they must
miss a meeting may transfer the registration to a colleague who should
identify themselves at the door as a substitute for you. You can collect
your refund from them and/or instruct them to pay your fee at the door.
They must accept the dinner you pre-ordered; we cannot change the
Potbelly order after the Friday before the meeting.
These policies were enacted because the number of last minute changes
made the registrar's work too difficult and MWAOHN was losing money on
dinners ordered but not paid for.
If you have any questions or need to make one of these special arrangements, call Joe Ann @ 301.249.6718 or email:

or Barbara Hayden at 202.641.1854.
