Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I don't want to use my credit card to pay online. Can I please RSVP online and pay at the door?
A: We feel your pain, but no. Our all-volunteer organization must place the order for meals in advance, which limits our ability to take payment at the door. To reserve your spot, please pay online through our website.
Q: My plans changed and I can't make the event - what are my options?
A: Please send a guest in your place. Your replacement can either mention they are coming in your place at the check-in table, or, any day prior to day of the event, you can change the check-in name by sending an email to: info@kcdowntowners.com. If you can't find a friend, co-worker or client to send, please check with your accountant and take a tax deduction for your lunch.
Q: Why the NO REFUND policy?
A: Once a guest pays online, an order is automatically placed with our caterer. Our organization is run by an all-volunteer board, which means we don't have paid staff available to process online refunds and make the necessary calls/adjustments to the catering order.
Q: If I join your email list, will you share my address with anybody?
A: Absolutely not! Nobody (not even board members) has access to your email address.
Q: Will you please forward information about my not-for-profit to your email list?
A: Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate these requests. We are committed to solely sending information about KC Downtowners business to our email subscribers.
Q: I have an upcoming very cool downtown event. May I please pass out literature at your luncheon or social?
A: Unfortunately not. You are always welcome and encouraged to attend the networking portion of our luncheon and communicate to the folks you meet. However, please do not put business cards, literature, magazines or fliers on the tables, chairs, or at the check-in desk.
Q: May I please collect petition signatures at your event?
A: No. You are welcome to request permission, but can only do so with the written authorization from our Board President. Please send the complete petition details to info@kcdowntowners.com at least one week prior to our event.
