DINNER RESERVATIONS: please try to make your Dinner reservations by Monday morning, 9:30 AM; call 650 599-3320 and specify either "sitdown" or "takeout". If it's after 9:30 and you're still interested in coming, call and leave a number for the manager to call you back if there is space. It is not necessary to reserve for the After-Dinner presentation.

AFTER-DINNER PRESENTATION: each month we feature an After-Dinner Lecture or Event, described in the newsletter and website. Lectures are usually on macrobiotic or other health related topics, by a variety of speakers including macrobiotic counselors, medical doctors, cooking teachers, and people who have dealt successfully with serious diseases using macrobiotic or similar approaches. Other events have included performances by folk singers and vegetarian Chinese acrobats. We have a pass-the-hat policy for our events; we suggest a donation of $5-10.

SCHEDULED PRESENTATIONS:
February 22: Julia and Carl Ferré speak on Working with Energy for Healing
March 22: Chefs Gary Alinder and James Holloway host Ask the Chefs

WHO SHOULD ATTEND: all are welcome at our Dinners, vegetarian or not. The Dinners are particularly helpful for those who want to eat in healthy ways, but may not know how to get started. Many who attend may have the same health concerns you have. Also, choosing locally grown, vegetarian foods is one of the best ways to reduce your carbon footprint on the planet.

Dinner attendance ranges from 40 to 100, with a full spectrum of ages spanning newborns to grandparents, including quite a few interesting singles. Come with a friend or by yourself; singles easily integrate into our friendly group, where seating is communal. Many long-term friendships have started at a Monday Dinner, and are renewed every week!

We hope to see you at a Monday Dinner! Please forward this message to friends who may be interested.
