Event Registration Charges and RSVP

MMCPA strives to keep the event costs affordable to the members of the community; however, it is extremely challenging to continue with the same prices in the current times because of the unprecedented levels of inflation. We hope you understand our decision for a slight increase in prices. The event fee is $14 per person for MMCPA members and $18 per person for non-members. The kids aged ten years or below will be free, but kids over ten will pay the exact charges as adults. Parents of the MMCPA member families will pay member charges; however, any other guests that member families invite, will pay non-member charges. 

We will accept cash/check as the mode of payment at the event. The checks must be made payable to MMCPA. If planning to pay in cash, please bring the exact amount. Mr. Milind Savaji will collect the checks at the venue. 

Visit the following URL to send your RSVP:

http://evite.me/z1n1FXQ3AH

Please select either a “YES” or “NO” while replying to the Evite and avoid picking “MAYBE.”

If sending a “YES” RSVP, please indicate the total number of people from your family attending the event (including kids and their ages) in the comments section of Evite.

Kindly note that individuals will have to pay the event fee in either of the following two scenarios: RSVP “YES” but a “no show.”  OR  RSVP “YES” but canceling after the RSVP deadline. 

The RSVP deadline is August 31, 2022, @ 11:59 pm EST.

Ganapati Bappa Morya……the countdown has begun!!!!
