Salad: Mixed Greens with Julienne Carrots, Jicama, Beets and Peppers with Cabernet Vinaigrette
Rolls & butter and coffee and tea will also be served. A cash bar will be located in the Foyer.
Dessert: Blackberry Mascarpone Shortcake
The cost of the banquet is $75.00 per person. Please register for the banquet when you register for the Nebula Awards Weekend, if possible.
Publishers Tables:
We have de-coupled the membership/registration fee from the banquet. There is a fee for the membership (this fee raises as the event approaches) and a fee for the banquet (this fee is $75.00 regardless of when the banquet ticket is purchased, however note that banquet tickets may not be available after the 10th of May.) There are eight (8) seats per banquet table.
No refunds will be provided by SFWA even if one or more of the people already have their banquet ticket (we don’t charge you for that person’s seat). If you wish to provide a refund for the person/people who already purchased his/her/their banquet(s) that is up to you to arrange.
Purchasing a Publishers Table provides the right to a ten (10) percent discount on either an ad in the Nebula Awards Weekend SFWA Bulletin or a fifteen (15) percent discount in a package of ads in the SFWA Bulletin.
