The Club holds five or more meetings in each program year beginning in the fall and ending in the spring. Meetings are held in the Upton Hall and the Mainstage Auditorium at the Mendel Center in Benton Township on E. Napier Avenue (Exit 30, I-94).

Upton Hall Members ($215 per member - only $5 more than last year)

With this membership you enjoy dinner and a cash bar before the speaker begins. Members are required to purchase a $21 dinner ticket per member for each meeting. It provides an excellent opportunity to meet and dialogue with other leaders in Southwestern Michigan. A wait staff serves your meals so you can relax once you are seated.

After dinner, the guest speaker addresses The Club, followed by a question-and-answer period of approximately 25 minutes. Normally, after a five-minute adjournment, those who wish to remain may take a seat near the podium for a further question-and-answer session. Some speakers, though, choose to have one 40-minute question-and-answer session.

Mainstage Auditorium Members ($160 per member)

This membership also provides an excellent venue for meeting and talking with leaders in Southwestern Michigan, but in a more informal setting. You will enjoy light hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar during a social time. Then you will have an opportunity to see the guest speaker in person and participate in an approximately 15-minute question-and-answer session. You will then view a live broadcast of the speaker’s speech and main meeting-area question-and-answer sessions on a large screen in the auditorium. For complete membership details, click here.
