Forget ladies who lunch. The cocktail-loving members of LUPEC Boston (Ladies United for the Preservation of Endangered Cocktails, lupecboston.com) are getting together tonight to show that they’re ladies who launch — a fall fundraiser for the New England Shelter for Homeless Veterans, that is. Swing over to LUPEC’s USO Show at the Jorge Hernandez Cultural Center (85
West Newton Street, Boston, 617.927.1735) at 7 p.m. for a 1940s-themed
night of period cocktails, a variety show (think burlesque performers,
stand-up comic, and live swing music), and raffle prizes. Tickets ($35
in advance at Toro, Tremont 647, and Grand; $45 at the door) include
canapés and four drink tickets.
