SUMMARY:CANCELED (Storm Damage) : Italiano Vegan Food Party and Re-Gift - Pacifica
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE: Please visit Bay Area Vegetarians event calendar for more information or updates on this and other vegetarian and animal rights events.=0D=0A=0D=0Ahttp://www.bayareaveg.org/events.php#1788 =0D=0A=0D=0AHost: Amy=0D=0A=0D=0ANotes:=0D=0A=0D=0ADue to recent storm damage to their house (broken windows, some water damage), regretfully, this event is canceled and will hopefully be rescheduled at a future date.  Sorry ... I'm disappointed too - I had my regift all ready to go!  --Tammy=0D=0A=0D=0A...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................=0D=0A=0D=0AJoin Amy and Chris and Bay Area Vegetarians to celebrate the New Year with a Vegan Food Party (VFP) in Pacifica!  Pacifica is a small city just minutes south of SF.=0D=0A=0D=0A=0D=0A=0D=0AWe will share good food, fellowship, and fun at their home.   Whether you are a new vegan, or have never eaten vegan food before, you are welcome to join us as long as you are open-minded and bring vegan food to share :-) =0D=0A=0D=0AThere are two special requirements about this VFP:=0D=0A=0D=0A1.  An italian food theme!  Yes, please bring vegan Italian dishes.=0D=0A=0D=0A2. Please bring a new (like new) gift for a re-gift exchange.  Value should be approx. $10.  Please wrap the gift (newspaper is fine).  The gift exchange is optional, but it will be fun.  See guidelines for gift exchange below.=0D=0A=0D=0A=0D=0A=0D=0AAbout the food=0D=0A=0D=0AYou may bring any type of homemade vegan dish (appetizer, entree, salad, dessert, etc).  For each person, one dish that provides 6 generous servings is fine.   For example, if you are a couple, you're welcome to bring a double-sized dish or be creative and bring two dishes!    =0D=0A=0D=0APlease see VFP guidelines for more details on vegan food & what to bring to a vegan food party. =0D=0A=0D=0AYou're welcome to "animal test" with new vegan recipes on  hungry volunteers, too :-)=0D=0A=0D=0AAgain, note, the emphasis of VFPs is to share delicious home-cooked foods.   Hopefully you can appreciate that it's not a fair exchange for someone to take 4 hours of planning, shopping, preparation, and clean-up while someone else spends $4 and 4 minutes to pickup cookies or drinks.  If you don't like to cook, don't have time, etc., there are other types of get-togethers (like our restaurant dinners) that may be a better fit for you.=0D=0A=0D=0A=0D=0A=0D=0AGift Exchange=0D=0A=0D=0AEveryone who brings a gift gets a number.  The presents are pooled.  In order of the person's numbers, people pick gifts.  The first person picks a gift from the pool.  The next person has a choice to pick a new gift or 'steal' a perviously opened gift.  If your gift is stolen, you get to pick a new gift or 'steal' another gift (except you can't steal back the gift just taken from you).  Once a gift has been 'stolen' three times, it sticks with whomever has it and cannot be stolen again.  This is a lot of fun and we hope you'll participate.=0D=0A=0D=0AOnly vegan items please.  This is a silly gift exchange but you can also bring something everyone will fight over!=0D=0A=0D=0AWe want to preserve our environment and less mess for our hosts, so please bring a reuseable plate, cup, utensils, serving utensil, as well as your beverage of choice.=0D=0A=0D=0A=0D=0A=0D=0ATime: Gather at 1 pm, eat at 1:30 pm=0D=0A=0D=0ALocation:  Private Residence in Pacifica, near Manor Drive.=0D=0A=0D=0AAddress / directions will be sent to all who RSVP.
