Society Dinner (may be sold out)
Plan to join us for dinner at La Grotta Ristorante (http://www.lagrottarva.com), an “exquisite” experience (as reported by a reviewer on “Yelp”), located at 529 E. Broad St. in Richmond, across the street from the show hotel, the Richmond Marriott. Details are below – send in your reservation ASAP: Particulars arranged by Mike Plett, our Society Treasurer and RVP for Region 11, are set out below. Please notice the seating limit and get your reservation check to Mike ASAP (address below) to avoid being disappointed. In order to manage planning, a reservation cannot be held without a check. I look forward to seeing you there.
The dinner is scheduled for Friday August 4, 2017 at 6:30 PM. The price of the dinner is $66 including tax and tip. You will make your dinner selection from a four-entrée menu at the restaurant. Run your own tab for wine and cocktails. Only water is included with the meal price. We have reserved 40 places.
Pay only by check made out to “USPCS” and send to:

Finally, be sure to come by the USPCS booth at Richmond and say hello – or schedule yourself for an hour or two to help staff the booth by sending an e-mail to Rob Lund (robinlund@comcast.net). There is no better way to get the most out of your membership than by getting involved.
