Friday Night Members' Dinner

Wild Ones members are invited to a Symposium Eve dinner at Bluewater Grille in downtown Chattanooga.  This annual event is a great opportunity to meet and talk with the speakers – Heather Holm, Phyllis Stiles and Carol Reese – who will be presenting at the symposium the following day.

The dinner at Bluewater Grille begins at 6:30pm and includes a three-course meal (soup or salad, entree, and dessert), coffee, tea and soft drinks plus gratuity. Several entrée choices will be available, including at least one vegetarian option.  The restaurant can usually accommodate gluten-free or other dietary restrictions, as well.

Copies of Heather Holm's two books Pollinators of Native Plants and , will be available for sale at the dinner.  Ms. Holm will be able to autograph copies of the book at this event.  If you want to have a signed copy of the book, we strongly recommend that you have it signed during this event, sinc e we cannot guarantee Ms. Holm’s availability at the symposium on Saturday.

Free on-street parking may be available, and a paid parking lot is available on the corner of Broad Street and Third Street.
