The banquet is one of the best benefits of being an EBC Club Member as EBC subsidizes a percentage of the banquet costs as a gift to our loyal EBC Club Members.  We have had an overwhelming response and sold out the last 2 year’s banquet.  Therefore, we have found a larger space to accommodate our members this year. 

Seating is Limited and EBC’s banquet has sold out 3 weeks prior to the event last year.

Please reserve early and NOW and NO LATER THAN February 5^th @ 9:00 AM!!!.  There will be NO WALK IN RESERVATIONS THE DAY OF THE EVENT.  Please contact Mary Beth Garcia with any questions @ Mary Beth Garcia @ mbg2426@gmail.com or 305-389-5156

Thank you for your continuous support of EBC.  Xavier and the EBC Board Members look forward to seeing you all at the Banquet soon !!!
