1/22/06 meeting: The Kite Runner

[LHLisavegan]

Hi,

If we have up to 10 participants we can meet at Shangri-La, Millennium (yes I know it's expensive!), and possibly Café Gratitude. If we have 4, or even up to 6, we can probably meet at any veg*n restaurant. We'll meet at 5:00 for early dinners to accompany our discussions on the Sundays scheduled.

We have a reservation for 10 people at Shangi-La on Sunday, 1/22 at 5:00 for an early dinner. We'll order our dinners by 5:30.

If you think you will need transportation help from a BART station or bus stop, please let us know and we'll try to arrange transportation help.

Hey, just saw that the author is going to be at an event at the San Mateo Performing Arts Center 10/19 @ 7:30 pm - free & open to the public

Apparently it's a library program where all the libraries are reading the same book (at least in my county)

Thanks Tammy. Will let current book club members know via email and at our next meeting on 9/24. It was a book most of us enjoyed. Lisa

hey, that's a really wonderful idea! i loved the book, and i will definitely love the book club. haha, i got one question: can people outside the bay area come too? how does it work? is there a special place to sign up? my little tip is, by the way, is to go here and find the book at a really cheap price. this goes of course for people who haven't read it

Jason,

I did not click on your link.

The book club meeting you responded to took place over 2 years ago.

And I'm sorry to say, that at least for now, the book club is full.

For new people interested in the BAVeg Vegan Book Club, I direct them to this post:

The Food for Thought Book Club, also a BAVeg book club, often has spaces for their meetings. The meetings take place in the San Francisco Bay Area.

These are not online discussions but actual meetings.

Just fyi.

Thanks for your interest. The book clubs are a lot of fun and a way to meet interesting people, discuss a book, and enjoy delicious vegan food.
