Attending Events

TO RESERVE SPACE when an event is announced with a date and cost, please pay online with a credit card when the registration email is received, or mail your check (payable to Wine & Food Society of Oregon) to: WFSO, 33 SW 3rd Avenue, Portland, OR 97204. A separate check should be sent for each event. For event questions, email jim@jatwood.com or by phone at 503-248-000.  

VERBAL COMMITMENTS WITHOUT ACCOMPANYING PAYMENT CANNOT BE ACCEPTED AS IT IS UNFAIR TO THOSE WHO RESPOND EARLIER WITH PAYMENT. We work on a first-come, first-served basis. We can accept VISA and Master Card reservations over the phone or online. Call in your account number, name on card and expiration date. Your credit card account will be charged at the time you make your reservation. 

NON-MEMBERS are welcome at many events. If WFSO members wish to bring guests, it is necessary to send payment for them in advance. 

WAITING LISTS develop for some events. If an event is fully subscribed when your payment is received, you will be advised.  Please DO NOT attend the event unless your place is confirmed. If space is not available, your check will be returned. 

CANCELLATION. If you are an original subscriber and must cancel, it is up to you to find a replacement. Call 503-248-0000 (WFSO Events Chairperson) to cancel. In addition, a call to the event coordinator is recommended as they may be able to assist you in finding a replacement. No Refunds. 

NO SHOWS will receive neither credit nor a refund.
