Invitations to fundraisers are descending upon this Muggle's house like the onslaught of Hogwarts letters that Harry Potter received by owl post. The going rate seems to be $125 for a dinner, but don't forget to add in what you'll spend for drinks and at the inevitable silent and live auction as well (we all need another piece of autographed sports memorabilia).
But one invitation tops them all. Each ticket for this ball, held at a swanky hotel in Manhattan, costs $250. Which seems excessive until you read the invitation closely: the Open Bar starts at 7 a.m., with dinner at 8 p.m.
Some typos the spellchecker just doesn't catch.
Thoughtfully, the invitation also includes hotel room rates, perhaps in case you need a nap before dinner.
