    Inventors Forum holds 10 regular Member's Assistance Meetings (January through October)

    WHEN: These "members only" meetings are held on the last Friday of the month and begin at 7:30 P.M. with registration starting one half hour earlier. The meeting usually lasts about 2 hours.

    FEE: Door fees are $5 for members. Non-members can join at this meeting. Initial membership fees are $50 per year, and half price ($25) for seniors 65+, full time students and disabled.  IF does not take credit cards at the door.  Please, no large denomination bills.

    NOTES: Everyone must sign a confidentialty agreemeent. Inventor presentations with feedback from the whole group are first. Inventors can then meet in smaller groups or network with other inventors where they can get specific help with their inventions.

    We are a non-profit group with no paid positions and the success of the group is totally dependent on what YOU bring to the meetings. So please share any helpful information you have. The hard working volunteers who keep IF going appreciate any and all assistance.
