Thanksgiving Dinner for Orphans & Quasi-Orphans ($5 RSVP Fee, See Details)

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 or Paypal. 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),
