The Mystery Menu and Special Dietary Needs
Although the menu is kept secret, we do our best to accommodate special dietary needs. For this reason, we ask that all guests register ahead of time and complete all of the registration questions. If you are registering for others or purchasing a table, we will need to connect prior to the event in order to capture any food restrictions. You may contact us directly at 860-266-6062 or info@hopeinfocus.org if you have any questions or concerns.
