University Merchants, Nonprofits Invite Residents to Dinner

A mystery location on the Princeton University campus, 5:45 p.m.

Princeton residents are invited to join students of Princeton University’s Forbes College and Whitman College for the best bargain in town: the second annual “Dîner Inn Blanc” under twinkling lights. Diners are asked to wear white, then mix it up with the 500 students, many far from home -- all just waiting to be asked the origin and import of the word “inn” to the college. Individual tickets are $5, with a maximum of $20 per family.

To order online, go to http://www.cornerhousenj.org/donate/index.html, and click on the Donate link. Pay for admission plus $1 for credit card processing. The location and entry time will be revealed to ticket buyers via  e-mail on Wednesday, Oct. 9. In case of rain, attendees will be notified via email on Tuesday, Oct. 8. Community members will be issued a rain check voucher for a $5 lunch in the Frist Campus Center Food Gallery.
