Meeting Dinner

Ristorante Fiore

Friday, 6 April, 2007 at 20:00

The meeting will hold a no-host dinner Friday evening at Ristorante Fiore in Boston's historic North End. This is an excellent restaurant offering authentic Italian cuisine.

We have arranged a fixed price menu with the restaurant for $60/person and we ask that everyone, who will attend the dinner, pay, in advance, by cheque or credit card via our secure site.

Instructions for paying for the dinner:

  • Enter the number of people attending and click the "Add to Cart" button.
  • This will take you to the secure shopping site which will show your order and ask you to choose a payment option.
    • You can edit your request, return to this page, or proceed to checkout.
  • At checkout your cheque or credit card information will be collected.
  • The next page will ask you to confirm your order and information. If you submit your order on this last page your credit card will be charged.
  • An E-mail receipt will be sent automatically.

Please pay as soon as possible so we can confirm the number we expect with the restaurant. Also we expect several people will purchase two or more tickets for their companions.
