2012 CEAL Fellowship Dinner Information

Registration Form (PDF) | Directions from Sheraton to Mandarin (PDF)

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

I am pleased to announce that 2012 CEAL Fellowship Dinner will be held at Mandarin restaurant in uptown Toronto on Wednesday, March 14, 7:00-9:00 pm, 2012. Mandarin is located at 2200 Yonge Street (phone number: 416-486-2222), about six subway stops away from Sheraton Hotel downtown. The restaurant is right above the Eglinton subway station for your convenience. It may take 20-30 minutes by taxi depending on traffic.  

Buffet will be served at the restaurant, with a variety of food selection, including many vegetarian choices. The cost of the dinner is $33 per person (either Canadian or US dollar). There are bigger and small tables in the area we reserved for the event to give us certain flexibilities.

All the CEAL members are more than welcome to join the gathering.  Please complete the reservation form (as attached) and  mail it with your check or credit card information to Cheng Yu Tung East Asian Library (The deadline for reservation is February 20, 2012):

If your check amount covers more than one participant, please ensure the amount and also include their names in English on the form.  If you decide to cancel your reservation, please inform us no later than February 20 for a full refund.  All the receipts will be sent electronically (cash payers can get their print receipts on March 14).  Please do not send cash with the form.  Participants paying by credit cards shall send their forms by mail due to security concern.
We also prepared a direction guide (another attachment) to help you find the venue.  If you have any further questions regarding the CEAL dinner, please email Lucy Gan at lucy.gan@utoronto.ca.
We look forward to seeing you all in our fellowship dinner.
Sincerely,
