Fees/Admission

PAYMENT IS REQUIRED WHEN YOU REGISTER. YOU CAN PAY $20 WHEN YOU REGISTER ONLINE (PRIOR TO 24 HRS BEFORE LUNCHEON), OR YOU CAN PAY $25 AT THE DOOR AS A WALK-IN. ONLINE REGISTRATION IS PREFERRED FOR AN EASIER CHECK-IN PROCESS.

$20 Chamber Members before 24hrs before luncheon
$25 Non-members and all who register at or less than 24hrs before event
$50 Spotlight Table (includes 1 lunch)
$75 Spotlight Table with tv screen (includes 1 lunch)
$160 for Table of 8, for Chamber Member purchase
$250 Luncheon Sponsorship (includes 4 lunches) - if you do not see this as an option in Registration Fees, then it has been sold for that month.

You can now register up to 9am the day of the luncheon, but $20 Early Bird Pricing for Members will automatically cut off AT the 24hr mark (11AM THE DAY BEFORE). Monthly Luncheons are $20 for Chamber Members if you register before 24 hours before the luncheon. AT 24hours before, luncheons are $25 for Everyone. When registering prior to 24 hours before, Members will see $25 in the registration fee, but you will see a $5 Early Bird Discount immediately after you click on the $25 fee, if you register early enough. AT the 24hour mark (11am the day before), pricing will automatically go to $25 with no discount, so if Chamber Members register for the luncheon at the 24hour mark or later, you will pay $25.

Refunds will only be made if cancellation is received at least 24 hours in advance. If you prepay but cannot attend, call the office before the 24hr mark and we can move your payment to the next lunch, no problem, but you must let us know 24 hours in advance! Thank you!

Lunch Sponsorships sell out quickly, so don't wait to REGISTER for a Lunch Sponsorship. Go to that month's luncheon on our calendar, and register to save your spot. If you try to register as a Luncheon Sponsor, but do not see that as a fee option, we have already sold that month's Lunch Sponsorship. Email gbaker@matthewschamber.org for a waiting list if we have a cancellation or to put your name on the list.
