7/4, Montara State Beach, Sand-n-Surf Vegan Food Party!!

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

 

I just saw Joanna's post about the hike (what a great idea!) and that

reminded me that I wanted to send out a reminder about the 4th of July beach

Vegan Food Party . I know how busy the summer gets, so please mark your

calendars for the BAV 4th of July party (full details below)

 

And a big welcome to all the folks who joined after meeting us at the Haight

Street Fair! Hope to see many of you Saturday at Veggie Fest

Cheers,

Tammy

Bay Area Vegetarians

 

 

Chris and I are hosting the 3rd annual Sand-n-Surf picnic at Montara State

Beach. This is a beautiful beach just south of San Francisco. It'll be

good fun and a great opportunity to establish or renew old and new

friendships. Here's the details:

 

What: 4th of July Sand-n-Surf Vegan Food Party!!

Where: Montara State Beach

When: Gather @ 2 pm, eat @ 2:30 pm

Why: Food, friends, fun!

Who: All of us!

Help: see below

RSVP: events

 

While all food is vegan, the people don't need to be. Please bring your

veg/non-veg family and friends and let them share some yummy vegan food.

Just remember that every person attending should contribute a vegan food

dish that can provide 6 servings (two people bring a dish with 12 servings,

and so forth, is fine). Please remember to also bring an autographed copy

of your recipe, everything you will need to eat and serve your dish with,

and (optional) a blanket or chair to sit on.

 

If you're new to Vegan Food Parties, please review our VFP guidelines at

RSVP: Chris and I will bring drinks, so if you're planning to attend, drop

us an email so we can plan accordingly (as well as for table space to hold

food, etc). I've already had a few folks mention that they will be joining

us so I'm anticipating another lively event this year :-) RSVPs to:

Driving Directions: See Chris' write up below for suggestions with driving

that day.

 

Help: 1) if anyone has an extra card table that they can bring, please let

me know! 2) If anyone can join us about 10 minutes earlier and help us get

stuff set-up, that would be great!

 

We look forward to celebrating the joys and independence of a compassionate

and cruelty-free diet with all of you!

 

 

 

Chris' Driving Directions

=========================

Traffic to the coast will be busy that day especially along Hwy 92 into Half

Moon Bay. Please plan accordingly and leave early to allow extra

time for traffic. I would strongly advise people come in from Pacifica

along Hwy 1. Even if you're coming from the South Bay.

 

I commute from Montara to Cupertino and the distance is only a few extra

miles but much much quicker due to having multiple lanes and higher

speed limits in each direction compared to Hwy 92.

 

Route I'd take from the South Bay -

 

280 North

Exit Skyline (Hwy 35)

LEFT on Sharp Park

Crossover/merge onto Hwy 1 in Pacifica heading south toward Half Moon Bay.

Montara is approx. 7 miles South of this point. Montara is the

first town after Devils Slide. Park close to restaurant and use the steps

behind it to the beach.

 

Same goes for those coming from San Francisco or the East Bay. Don't fall

for Hwy 92 however tempted.

 

Remember Hwy 1 via Pacifica is your friend, Hwy 92 BAD. Trust me

 

At the beach

==========

Use the stairs behind the 'Outrigger' restaurant and look for a sun canopy

with a banner that says 'Bay Area Vegetarians' surrounded by a boisterous

group of eating people.
