RE: Vegan Cooking Class, Saturday, March 9th, First Uni tarian Univers alist Church of Oakland

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

 

Guess who hasn't been taking her Vitamin B-12 (I have about three bottles of

Twin-Lab sublinguals, but will now probably have to auction them off on

E-Bay, since apparently they're not vegan after all)?

 

When I sent out the note yesterday about the cooking class on March 9th, I

meant to include a note indicating that people *must* register in advance

(it's the only way we can reliably keep track of the numbers, and since we

want people to arrive hungry and leave stuffed, we do need to know numbers).

Please contact either me or Colleen (info below) if you'd like to register,

and if you send the note to friends/family/coworkers, again, please do let

them know that they need to register in advance.

 

Thanks so much & apologies for my lapse,

Alka
