Reminder: BAVRT - Apr 26, 2003 - Bay Area Vegetarian Restaurant Trek

[Guest guest]

Dear SF Bay Area Veglist!I am sending this reminder for next Saturday's Bay Area

Vegetarian

Restaurant Trek on behalf of Das Devaraj. Because Das' life this month has

become a bit chaotic with

his new job in Monterey and his moving there from Walnut Creek, it's very

important to call him on

his mobile phone: 408-839-5921 to RSVP ** by Tuesday, April 22, ** for this

month's dinner trek in

Concord.

 

This is not a drop-in event, so please call him. Also **very important**, if you

sent him an email

and have not gotten a response from him, please call him to re-confirm your

RSVP. He has had very

little email capability this month, unfortunately. At the same time, it is

important that if you need

to cancel your RSVP, to please call to notify him.

 

Thanks! (Lori Patotzka) AND...
