9/19, Oakland, Hike, Vegan Food Party, Dinner

[Guest guest]

OAKLAND GRAND SLAM OR FOOD TRIATHLON? You're welcome to attend one or all

three!

 

There are 3 Bay Area Veg events this weekend, all on Sunday in Oakland!

 

Start the day with an invigorating and refreshing hike in the beauty of

Redwood Regional Park, led by Carla

Refuel and relax at a Vegan Food Party at Lake Temescal, hosted by Pam & Roy

then end the evening with a yummy meal at the monthly New World Vegetarian

dinner hosted by Bob

 

--------

 

Come to the Redwood Forest to work up an appetite before Pam & Roy's Lake

Temescal VFP! We'll be hiking to one of the highest points in Oakland--

Redwood Peak, at 1619' (a good cardio workout)! Sections are steep with

rocky steps, so wear sturdy shoes. I haven't yet decided on our exact route

so the distance is unknown at this point, but the hike will last about 1.5-2

hrs. If you've never been to Redwood Park, you won't believe that you're in

Oakland!

 

We'll meet at my house across from Redwood Park at 10am and leave for the

Park at 10:15am sharp. Feel free to store your VFP dish inside, but

refrigerator space will limited (my house is cool, though). Cold drinks will

be served after our hike, then we'll bring our hunger to Lake Temescal!

 

See next event listing for more details about the Vegan Food Party, what to

bring, etc.

 

Please e-mail me directly for directions and address. I hope you can make

it!

You're invited to Bay Area Vegetarians Vegan Food Party / picnic at Lake

Temescal in Oakland on Sunday, Sept 19th at noon, hosted by Pam & Roy Webb.

(#2 of 3 events on Sunday, see bottom of email for more info)

 

Let's meet at the Broadway Terrace end of the lake. Look for the *green*

canopy (it was blue/white last year). Bring vegan food to share (enough for

6 generous servings), your own plate and utensils, and serving spoon,

ingredient list, and a blanket to sit on if benches not available. If

you're not familiar with vegan foods/VFPs and not sure what to bring, take a

look at what folks have brought to previous VFPs or ask for suggestions.
