Acutally that cost is reasonable for a lunch and meeting room (these things have costs). My experience is networking and learning is well worth the cost -- lunch is just a bonus. Those with real jobs should ask their boss if they could attend chamber meetings. You might be surprised by the answer -- they'd be smart to pay you and pay for the lunch. (I have a real job and could have attended, except tow others from my Company already chose to attend.) Personally, with a family, I find noon meetings preferable to evenings.

This is how most chambers of commerce support themselves and cover the cost of the lunch. You might want to stop being critical of every issue surrounding the track. Maybe you should attend the lunch and support our local business community rather than attacking it. Now wouldn't that be democratic. Jacob,

That is really “Democratic”. Nice. So they are charging for their meetings and anyone with a real job can’t attend because it is in the middle of the day. That is really “Democratic”.
