Meals

There will be two meals served.

  • Friday night buffet dinner: $45.00 USD
  • Saturday night banquet dinner: $60.00 USD

Please consider purchasing meals with us. This has several benefits:

  1. Convenience: Ensure that you are not running around for your dinner between sessions.
  2. Fellowship: You can enjoy the company of your OA fellows.
  3. The food fits all food plans. Here is a copy of the menu.
  4. 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.
