There is a company-wide lunch for the boss. Whether this dinner is an "official" function or not is extremely ambiguous. My friend was not originally on the guest list and was added at the last minute. (To be fair it was supposed to be "senior management" and the person setting it up didn't realize that included my friend.)

well, with that little bit of info i would say that it is even more crucial that he pony up and go along for the ride.

A) $50 isn't too much to pay for honoring a friend and mentor
B) if he is senior mgmt and the others didn't know it, this is his chance to make his membership in their club known.
C) if he isn't senior mgmt and they included him it would be very unwise to reject the invite.
