General Information
POGG is a fellowship of persons with strong interests in public affairs.
It is registered in Ontario as a sole proprietorship and operates on a
not-for-profit basis. There is no paid staff.
The Membership fee is $20 annually. The next general meeting of all
Members will be in June.
The Speaker Program, usually monthly over breakfast, is $15. Members may
invite guests but should notify the Registrar or President in advance at info@POGGtalk.org. The caveat for each
meeting is that all who attend do so accepting the fact that what they hear
must not be attributed to the speaker outside of this event. This caveat
has enabled friends and guests to speak openly as if in private
conversation. This caveat is waived from time to time.
The regular Saturday morning speakers program cost of $15 is payable in
cash at the door (breakfast is free). Note: Members may invite guests to
POGG events but should provide that information to the Registrar in advance
of the event. The breakfast cost for each guest is $20.
All 'No Show' and membership fees must be paid at the earliest
opportunity.
Speaker and Breakfast program is usually convened at the Carlingwood
Restaurant on the third Saturday of the month. Contact Info@POGGtalk.org to confirm dates.
