SUMMARY:Buona Sera: An Evening with Friends 2023
DESCRIPTION:  \nHow do you join ABCD’s Buona Sera: An Evening with Friends? Easy. Your company purchases a table for 10\, and you let us know if you have a preferred celebrity and restaurant\, or even if you just have a basic preference between getting to know a local politician versus a sports/media figure. We’ll pair you up with a restaurant\, and a celebrity. \nInvite 10 of your favorite people (including yourself of course) — your favorite clients\, your best employees\, your most enjoyable colleagues — people who are fun to talk with\, who will enjoy an evening over some of the best food in the North End\, with an intriguing celebrity added to your table for added sparkle. \nAfter\, everyone strolls over to the North End to their designated restaurant where their table for 10 plus celebrity awaits. Dinner may be full menu\, short menu or served family style\, depending on the restaurant. Prepare to be amazed by some of the best food in the North End. Full meal and wine are included. (Mixed or specialty drinks\, or additional wine\, can be purchased separately if preferred.) A generous tip has been provided for the waitstaff\, so your table is all set\, no worries. Just sit back and enjoy your Evening with Friends from beginning to end. \n  \n \nWe look forward to having you join us for our 11th year of ABCD’s Buona Sera: An Evening with Friends.  If you have a restaurant or celebrity preference\, act soon to secure your first choice! (If a celebrity is in super high demand\, still be sure to act soon\, but we’ll be fair and pick the lucky table out of a hat) \nAll proceeds benefit the ABCD North End/West End Neighborhood Service Center\, which provides essential services to low-income and at-risk elders in our local community. Our organization and budget are local\, so your table donation will go a long way in providing support and services for those in need nearby in the community. We thank you very much for your support! \n\nCHOOSE YOUR RESTAURANT AND CELEBRITY\nINVITATION PDF \nBUONA SERA DONATION\nQuestions?
