The Hulbert Center Aficionados are people united by an interest in the American Southwest. Begun in the fall of 1984, it is open to all wanting to learn more about the land, people, environment, arts, culture and politics of the region. Aficionados receive notices for the monthly luncheons. The only costs to members are the lunches. There are no dues. While not required, several Aficionados are among the regular donors to Hulbert Center Programs. All donations are tax exempt.

Reservations: If you make a reservation and have to cancel, please call at least two days in advance. Because of new policies imposed by the caterers, we will be obliged to charge ‘no-shows’ for their meals.
Parking: Normally an issue in the past, there have been some changes to better serve our community patrons. In each CC parking lot, there is paid parking available. Look for a large yellow machine which, for the correct amount of change, will dispense parking tags. Should you prefer free parking, there is a lot on Nevada and Uintah with a free shuttle service. Look for the green and yellow buses. The shuttle will drop you across the street from Gaylord Hall.
