Ron invites you to enjoy dinner at one of the busiest restaurants in Toronto (corner of Church & Front), and the reason is clear – great food. It offers an eclectic menu to suit all tastes, including an extensive vegetarian selection. It has an extensive selection of wines from around the world as well as cocktails, and a selection of offerings from Canadian microbreweries. Contact Ron Koehli by the day before at rkoehli@bell.net or 289-981-3184. A traditional Hungarian restaurant serving stews, cabbage-rolls, schnitzel, dumplings, and more. Event is open to 12 members.

Members can reserve seats for the play at nagsplayers.com/seeashow/ - and advise when booking they wish to sit with Dave from the UKConnexion. Tickets are $30.00 adults/$25 seniors. The play begins at 7:30 p.m., so best arrive by 7:15 p.m.

The play is called Oscar and you don't want to miss this madcap comedy... When wealthy industrialist Bertrand Barnier learns that his employee, Christian Martin, has embezzled millions, Christian offers his boss a trade: have the money returned, but only if Barnier grants him a massive raise... and his daughter's hand in marriage! Things spiral out of control for Barnier in this timeless French masterpiece of frantic energy. Oscar proves that nothing is simple when it comes to family and fortune.
Let Dave know when you have reserved your ticket: dturtoc551@gmail.com.
