**No family in the city? Don't feel like travelling this year? Or just sick of your obnoxious Uncle Herman and his disgusting cigars?**

**Well then, come enjoy the holiday with Meetup friends, old and new!**

**========================================**

**IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:**

**\- Everyone pays in full for what they order\, plus tax and tip\. $The venue has agreed to give us separate checks\.$**

**\- There is a $5 non\-refundable event fee to attend\, which must be paid in advance and is in addition to the cost of your meal\. This prevents excessive no\-shows\, which would make an accurate restaurant reservation impossible and also disappoint the people who actually come\. The funds will be used to help cover the organizer fees that I pay to Meetup\.**

**\- Please do not ask to pay the $5 at the event\. That would completely defeat the stated purpose\.**

**\- Prepay via [Ticketleap](https://gsh.ticketleap.com/orphansthanksg/) or [Paypal](https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/QE9C7QEHRDES8). Either way, after paying online, please check your credit or debit card account to make sure the transaction went through.**

**\- Confidential registration: If you don't want your name or picture to appear on this page\, then simply purchase your spot without doing an RSVP on Meetup\.**

**\- Registration deadline is 1 pm on Thanksgiving Day\. At that time\, a final headcount will be given to the venue\. Anyone not tallied in that number will not be seated with the group\.**

**\- Please do not confuse this dinner with any other meetup on the same day and show up at lunchtime like someone did a few years ago\. We are meeting at 6:30 pm\.**

**\- Emergency contact phone for "day of" is $917$ 680\-0656\. Send an "old\-fashioned" text directly to this number and please include your first and last name\. Do NOT attempt to reach me via email\, Ticketleap\, Meetup\, or any other Internet\-based channel\, as those methods are not reliable on my phone\. Also\, no voice calls\, as they interfere with each other when received simultaneously $which happens a lot$\.**

**\- We will be eating at \[masked\]\.**

**\- The restaurant's full regular MENU will be available\, plus Thanksgiving SPECIALS\.**

**\- This event was created specifically for members of my Meetup groups and private email lists\, their guests\, and special invitees\.**

**\- Please note that the total RSVP count includes people coming from other Meetup and non\-Meetup groups\. It is manually updated every 12 \- 48 hours and is NOT an arbitrary number\. However\, also remember that "no\-shows" can never be accurately predicted\.**

**========================================**

**Happy Thanksgiving to all (wherever you may be spending it),**
