We always are trying to cut down cost to our members, that is why when we changed our place of venue we are not having soda available as the charge to us would be $2.00 per can and we feel that is beyond what we as an organization can't see sending forward to our members. So if you would like to bring your own soda to have in your rooms and bring to the speakers events is fine with us. Going to the casino floor to get a cup of fountain pop is still available like last year as an option also. We are sorry for this inconvenience.
