Reminder/Clarification: Vegan Potluck & Speakers on Veganism

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

 

Regarding the upcoming vegan potluck at my home this Saturday evening,

featuring the tremendous trio - Matt Ball, Jack Norris & lauren Ornelas of

Vegan Outreach, Vegan Outreach, and Viva! USA - a dear friend called my

attention to the fact that some people may think that the event is a

fundraiser. To clarify, we're hoping to raise awareness, raise

consciousness, raise spirits, and raise the bar on excellence, but no, we

will not be raising funds. We do ask that in the spirit of community, you

bring a vegan dish to share. If you will have difficulty cooking, you can

always bring a beverage (alcoholic or non), some bread and hummus, a bag of

baby carrots, anything.

 

Since I'll be hosting, and since cooking is my meditation, I'll be making a

few dishes: my award-winning pate (which has become a bit of a staple), a

Thai curry - based on a recipe by award-winning chef, Ken Bergeron, that I

saw in the recent issue of Veg News, and the Millennium chocolate midnight,

made as a pie.

 

Again, the awareness/consciousness/spirits-raising potluck & talks will be

happening at my home, which is at 1275 Geneva Avenue in the Excelsior

district of San Francisco, just down the street from the beautiful and

historic Cow Palace.

 

Hope to see many of you there.

 

Cheers,

Alka

 

P.S. -- It's not necessary, but it's very helpful if people bring their own

dishes and cutlery. Thanks!
