La-di-da. No one can accuse us of not being classy, not if we're spending this month at L'Espalier. It simply doesn't get any posher than this...not unless you regularly hang out with Her Royal Highness (and I don't mean Kyle Hemingway this time). Our friends there will be setting up a special bar area just for us—complete with a special list of $10–12 cocktails (so we can join the smart set but not break the bank).

Time for another round of Punch Bowl Fund. This month's featured non-profits are:

1. Handel and Haydn Society
2. Helios Early Opera
3. Boston Ballet

Take a sec to read up on each one of them. You'll get a chance to vote for your favorite with each glass of punch you buy. Vote early and vote often. The winning charity will receive a donation from Opus Affair for the total amount of punch sold. If you have a charity you'd like to see featured another month, take a moment to nominate them.

Thanks to Fernet Branca and Carpano Antica for sponsoring this month. Glasses of their punch will go for $5 cash until we run out. Other cocktail specials will just have to be a surprise when you show up...

Yet another reason to be excited about looking posh this month, Allana Taranto from Ars Magna Studios will be setting up a photo booth for us.

No matter what your interest or experience in the arts may be, you are welcome to join us—by yourself or with friends. As always, individuals are responsible for running their own tabs at the bar.
