Throughout the past four years, we've been asked thousands of questions.  But as you can imagine, some of the same questions continually surface.  We've listed the most common questions below.  If you would like additional information, or a futher clarification of any topic, please contact us for additional details.  How long has the Sushi Club of Houston been in existence? How many registered members does the club have?   What does it cost to become a member? Are there rules of membership? How often does the club host events? When you register as a member, you are asked to provide your phone number. Why? How long has the Sushi Club of Houston been in existence? We were founded in October 2006 by Carl Rosa.  If you'd like more information on the basics of our club, please visit the 'About Us' page of this website. (back to the top of the page) How many registered members does the club have? The membership is continually growing and, at times, members move out of Houston.  Although it's hard to provide a daily total, we have over 2,000 documented/registered members as of August 1st, 2010. On average, we welcome 3 new members per week to the club. (back to the top of the page) What does it cost to become a member? Absolutely nothing.  You are not required, in any way, to spending one cent to become a member of our club.  Our club is not designed to make a profit from the membership.  When attend the events, you pay for your meal.  That's it. (back to the top of the page) Are there rules of membership? The rules are simple.  If you plan to attend an event, you must register online.  When the event draws closer, you will be asked to confirm your seat(s). If you plan to attend, you must confirm.  If you can't attend, you must inform us.  If you do not confirm your seat (or do not show up for the event after confirming), you will be removed from the club.    (back to the top of the page) How often does the club host events? Every event depends on the deals that we can negotiate for the club.  So, at times, we may be offer 6 or 7 events at once.  Other times, we may offer 4.  There's no rhyme or reason because we never host the exact same event twice. (back to the top of the page) When you register as a member, you're asked to provide a phone number.  Why? In the event of an emergency, we may need to update you on an issue.  For example, in March 2009, one restaurant experienced a serious water leak in their kitchen and shut their operations down for a day to fix the problem and avert a crisis.  The water leak occurred two hours before our event.  To ensure that we could inform all of the attendees, we were able to successfully contact everyone before they made the long journey in their cars to the event.  For reasons such as this, a phone number is essential to be a member.
