Guest guest Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 --- August 30, 2003 (Last Saturday of every month) Time: 6:00 p.m. Host: Ana Site: Red Sea Restaurant 5200 Claremont Ave Oakland, CA (510) 655-3757 Type: veg/non-veg Ethiopian restaurant Cost: Most entrees are around $7 to $9. Order from a special vegan menu prepared specially for BAVRT. RSVP by Tue, August 26 to or call (408) 839-5921. BAVRT is NOT a drop-in dinner event. As always, you come under your own liability for all events. Pass the word to your friends. This is not an exclusive net-folks only event. This is not an activist group or singles event. Note that if you plan to attend this dinner, you can order only vegetarian dishes, even if the restaurant serves other stuff. If you have suggestions for future sites, please e-mail them to . If you want to volunteer host a BAVRT dinner, please let me know!! ===================================================================== #1) This month's trek Ana graciously agreed to host this month's trek in East bay. She chose Red Sea restaurant in Oakland, an Ethiopian restaurant. This restaurant is planning to type up all their vegan dishes on a separate menu and give it to BAVRT members! This will avoid ordering hassles. Entrees are between $7 and $9, appetizers from $2 to $5. There seems to be around a dozen or so entrees in the menu. Restaurant has told us that they can accommodate various levels of spiciness in their food and some other special requests. Make sure to RSVP for this dinner. --- #2) Last month's trek Cheryl hosted last month's dinner at Golden Buddha in Soquel (next to Santa Cruz). Six people came for this dinner. This dinner proved to be a highly enjoyable and cozy dinner, with everybody chatting with everybody else. Those of you who attended BAVRT dinners almost 10 years ago, would fondly remember such dinners. Some BAVRT members have requested more member interactions at dinners. Afterall, the large turnout at most BAVRT dinners usually is not too conducive to meeting and chatting with everybody. Do you have any suggestions that you are freely willing to share as to how this may be done (ice breaker games or social time before dinners etc?) After dinner, we went to Saturn cafe for desserts. --- #3) Car-less lifestyle Currently I am leading a " car-less " lifestyle in Monterey. It is easy enough to go to work or other routine day-to-day things using public transport. Going to parties and similar events are harder. Last month, took Greyhound bus to attend BAVRT dinner! Some BAVRT members have tried going " car-less " from time to time. Have you tried it and how long were you able to do that? --- #4) NON-BAVRT news a) Too much technology diminishes work relationships, author says http://archives.seattletimes.nwsource.com/cgi-bin/texis.cgi/web/vortex/display ?slug=neds08 & date=20030808 b) Woman attacks 'gorilla' with broom http://www.dailytelegraph.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5936,6918773%5E401,0 0.html c) Fair Aug 12-17 For folks close to Monterey :-) [walking distance for me!] http://www.montereycountyfair.com/facts.htm ===================================================================== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
