9th Annual Autumn Evening for Autism

9th Annual Autumn Evening for Autism on Thursday, October 11th, 2018 at NeXT

Check out our menu below and auction items!

Chef Michael Blackie outdoes himself each year creating a menu just for us! The evening begins with prosecco and delicious canapés followed by a mouthwatering, four-course wine-paired dinner.  

Ottawa's own Carol Anne Meehan will be joining us as our Emcee again this year, and Lawrence Greenspon is returning as our auctioneer. 

We're excited to share with you that the British High Commissioner has donated a dinner for 10 at her residence - who will be the lucky winner?

Parent Speakers:  Ms Candice Gallo & Mr Richard Gallo

Enjoy this unique evening with old and new friends. 

All for $185, taxes/gratuity included (and a $75 charitable tax receipt).  Our prices haven't increased for our dinner price for five years, however with the minimum wage increase we are adjusting our price to reflect the additional cost.
