Mayor Katjana Ballantyne, the Somerville Police Department, and Autism Eats warmly invite the Somerville community to a friendsgiving dinner at Mount Vernon Restaurant (14 Broadway) on Tuesday, November 14, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. 

The friendsgiving dinner is autism family friendly and all behaviors are welcome. Reservations are required and can be made at www.AutismEats.org. 

This event is coordinated in collaboration with the national Autism Eats organization, which provides autism-friendly non-judgmental environments for family dining, socializing, and connecting with others who share similar joys and challenges. Dinner parties are held in private rooms of restaurants or function facilities. Food is served buffet or family style so there is no waiting. Music and lighting are adjusted to accommodate those with sensory sensitivity.
