MeisCie: Valentine's dinner

Date: Thursday 13 February
Time: 19:00
Location: Cantina Mexicana (Vismarkt 50)

Valentine's day is the day to expres your love to the one you secretly admire. It is also the day for couples to celebrate being together. This year the MeisCie is organizing an event to start your valentine's day in style. The evening before valentine's day we'll have a special dinner. For only 15,50 euro you get a three course tapas dinner, a popsicle and a drink. Don't be afraid of the word tapas, there'll be enough food so you won't leave hungry.

When we're finished eating, there'll be an auction. The money we raise with this auction, will be spend on a discount on the drinks we get afterwards. When you want to join us, note that there is a dress code. We expect you to dress decently. A smoking is not necessary, but a suit or at least a blazer would be appropriate. And for the women: just pick your nicest dress. Don't forget, valentine's day is a day for singles. If you don't have a date that's no problem at all. If you have a boy- or girl friend or maybe a date you can bring him/her with you, even if he/she is not a Cover member! More information will be available on the Cover site soon.
