This month's trekLori graciously agreed to host this month's trek at Memo's in

Concord. She also made all arrangements in record time so thatthis message can

go out early (in order to accommodate forpossible email disruptions on VegInfo

server this month). " Memo's Mexican Cocina is a veg/non-veg restaurant that has

somewonderful selections for vegans! Memo's opened last October andpromptly

received 5 out of 5 forks in the Contra Costa Timesrestaurant review! Because

the co-owner is vegetarian, he's takengreat care that the beans and rice are

strictly vegetarian.In addition, Memo's is one of the very rare restaurants in

CCCountythat offers (non-GMO) vegetarian meat substitutes. Enchiladasfilled with

tofu or tasty potatoes or veg 'chicken'; sopas; gorditas; for instance, are some

of the tasty veg choices ontheir menu. They're known for their freshly made masa

as wellas their popular pumpkin seed mole sauce. The owners are excitedto host

the BAVRT and will provide us with a special select choiceof combination plates

that you'll be sure to sink your teeth into,including a vegan dessert! " This

restaurant is only a few blocks from Concord BART station.It is located in

downtown Concord just one block from Todos SantosPlaza. Make sure to

RSVP.---#1)

Move to MontereyAs some of you know, I am moving to Monterey. Got a contract

there.People have asked me about future of BAVRT. As long as people stepforward

to host dinners, BAVRT can continue and flourish. So whendo YOU want to

volunteer to host a dinner? ( " What is involved inhosting a dinner? "

http://www.veginfo.com/bavrt/hosting.html )Please try to RSVP to my cell phone

(408) 839-5921 this month,as email interruptions are likely. I also have not

found a placeto stay in Monterey yet. Any leads for apartments, condos, orother

rental arrangements highly appreciated. If you have a cheap reliable commuter

car that you are planning to sell,let me know. Any of you in the market for a

FREE computer rack? I have a 19 " computer rack. Outside dimensions are around

61 " height, 20.5 " width and 25.5 " depth. You have to arrange transportationfrom

Walnut Creek and lifting power. Need to act fast to getthis! I may even throw in

a free rack mount computer (passiveback plane chassis).If you are in that part

of the woods (Monterey), feel free togive me a

call!---#3)

Last month's trek http://www.veginfo.com/bavrt/restaurantlist.htmlDavid

hosted an extremely successful dinner at Udupi Palacein Berkeley last month. We

had 42 people who showed up,there were 13 cancellations and three no-shows. The

dinner started with appetizers served at our tables. Therewere something like

six different kinds appetizers. We were givenabout two of each - more than a

dozen appetizers to start ourdinner! Some people thought it was the whole dinner

and many peoplegot full just eating them. The restaurant then brought out

theactual buffet and we all eagerly stood in line to stuff overselveswith this

vegan feast.Everybody gave incredibly high marks for the food and serviceat this

restaurant. We were even given a vegan dessert, as partof the buffet! Everything

was

superb.---#4)
