    For registered guests that will be paying by cash or by check, we have 2 favors to ask.

    First, we encourage you to come prepared with a check rather than pay cash.

    Second, please make your check made out beforehand. Be sure to make it payable to MCARE.  NOTE:  The price for each luncheon may change so be sure to check your registration invoice.

    This will make the check in process go much quicker. When paying by cash, it can slow everything down.

    Your cooperation is most appreciated.
