Ladies United for the Preservation of Endangered Cocktails – Boston

Just three more days ’til our biggest event of the season, and the ladies of LUPEC Boston could not be more excited. The past week has seen a flurry of activity with several new acts falling into place and some exciting new donations to add to the list of raffle prizes:

Early arrivers will be treated to a complimentary swing dance lesson from 7:15 – 8 p.m. Whether you’re a Lindy Hop virgin or have been swing dancing for decades, the joint will be jumping!

Members of Boston’s sweethearts Thru the Keyhole Burlesque will bring their delightfully steamy act to the event, interspersed between stand-up comedy routines, hilarious sketches, and of course, more dancing.

In addition to sampling just-shucked oysters by Island Creek, adventurous American treats from Tremont 647, and Spanish delights from Toro, you will also be able to try sensational pulled pork finger sandwiches provided by Lionette’s Market.

East Coast Grill has donated four gift certificates to our prize raffle, and Imbibe magazine has donated a one-year subscription. After glancing at the complimentary copy of the November/December issue of Imbibe you’ll receive as a special parting gift, you’ll be vying for a year’s worth, on the house.

And folks, please note: the event is being held at the Jorge Hernandez Cultural Center at 85 West Newton Street in the South End, across the street from Upper Crust. We tried to send you to the financial offices in the last email blast, and we are deeply sorry for that potential buzzkill.

Ticket price is $35 in advance/ $45 at the door including cocktail party fare and four drink tickets, with additional beverages available for purchase. They’re going fast, so buy yours today at any of the following locations:

• Toro, 1704 Washington St., Boston, MA
