Do you have to be a member to come to the banquet have some friends that want to come but are not members .They have ask me how much it cost to get in .I have went to the website but can't get in here at work.

I'm pretty sure that you do not. Don't know how much it costs though.

Kevin Bahr can answer this question...but I believe you would need to be an associate, which could happen at the door.

If you think you would enjoy attending the banquet it's certainly worth becoming a member.  Of all the organizations I belong to I value PBS the most highly.
Hope to see you there!

I'm pretty sure you don't have to be a member to attend. It's a good way to answer the "Is the PBS for me" question.

I am pretty sure you do not have to be a member, I hope not because I have invited non members to come with me.

The PBS Banquet festivities are open to all members, family and guests of members.  Hope to see ALL of you there!

Kev, are non members permitted to participate in the auctions?

Big Man, we don't have a set policy on that, yet.  But we are working on that issue.  So far, if a guest has purchased a banquet ticket, they also get a bidding card.

Kevin, can people just pay an admission fee for access to the vendors and such, without buying a banquet ticket?  As it stands right now, I won't be able to stay for the dinner, as much as I want to.  I also may have a few non-members with me, who really have little interest in the banquet.
Thankx, Murray

murray, in the past all of the daily activities that don't require a ticket have been open to the public.  I believe it's the same way for Nashville.

Hope you get a chance to browse our vendor area while at the PBS gathering.  Lots of cool stuff to check out and hopefully purchase!
