Prices increase on August 16th.
Meals
There will be two meals served.
Please consider purchasing meals with us. This has several benefits:
- Convenience: Ensure that you are not running around for your dinner between sessions.
- Fellowship: You can enjoy the company of your OA fellows.
- The food fits all food plans. Here is a copy of the menu.
- Support Region 6 in reaching its minimum food purchase requirement from the hotel. If we do not meet this minimum, we will have to pay the difference.
