The Toronto Chapter invites you to its Year-End Party on Saturday, November 27, 2010 from 7:30 PM - 10:00 PM (ET) at the Sultan's Tent, 49 Front Street, Toronto, Ontario.
Nothing is more important than forging old ties, seeing old friends again and having fun just to see each other again. By “old” we do not mean age but long friendships that stretch back to the 70’s, the 80’s and the 90’s. We now have retirees from 2000 and up who are eager to meet the movers and shakers before them.
We are sending out the invites early enough to mark this date in your calendar and start reminiscing the Roxas/Ortigas days. Please bring your old photos of ADB days or send us the scanned copies for our memorabilia. Don’t forget to bring your camera to record this event.
Bring your entire family and enjoy a fun-filled evening at the Sultan's Tent [49 Front Street, Phone 416-961-0601 -- between Church Street and Yonge Street, just east of the Sony Centre]. Check out their website - http://www.thesultanstent.com/
Sultan's Tent is known for their sense of ritual hospitality and regally prepared traditional dishes (see menu below). Our wish is for you to spend a relaxing evening with us, enjoying superb food and delightful entertainment (belly dancing) among good friends. This is a special event you don't want to miss! Life is too short, let's all enjoy it to the fullest!
To confirm your attendance/reservation, please send your check ($53.00 per person) by 30 October to Ms. Paz Ravadilla, 598 Barrhill Rd., Maple, Ontario L6A 1N6.
