Our signature cocktail - "Free Time" - is sponsored by Burke Distributing Corporation and Don Papa Rum. A premium aged, single-island rum from the Philippines, Don Papa Rum is created on the foothills of the active volcano Mt. Kanlaon, where the finest sugar cane is milled to produce sweet, rich molasses.
A SEASONAL TASTING MENU that's not to be missed! East Meets West, one of Boston's most distinguished caterers, has put together an incredible menu with passed and stationary hors d'oeuvres, a charcuterie station, slider station, and New England Station. See the full menu here.

From Quack About and Monster Mash to Get Dressed. Go Out. Stay Out. and Shaken, not Stirred, the Silent Auction has something for everyone. Take a look at our very special auction items, and get ready to put your best bid forward!
You'll find some of the items designated as "Buy It Now." If any of these catch your eye, you can buy it in advance, whether you are able to attend on the 30th or not.
Our vendors offer a unique and varied selection of clothing, jewelry, food, and items for the home. Each is donating a portion of the evening's sales to support NEADS. Be sure to look for:
