Important Update about Section Dinners
The AWS Puget Sound Section board recently voted to raise the dinner cost for meetings to $40 for regular attendees and $20 for
students. As most of the meeting attendees know, the Rock Salt Steakhouse closed. It may be reopening in the future, but at this
time we do not know. In the last three months, we have tried several locations for our meetings. Each of the locations we tried
works great for a meeting, but the cost is significantly greater than the cost we were paying at the Rock Salt. The Section has had a
large deficit cost of several hundred dollars at each of the last three meetings. We simply cannot afford continue to subsidize the
meeting costs to that extent. However, the Section will continue to subsidize the student meals. Thank you for your understanding
and continued support.
