Fundraiser for Friends of the Oakland Animal Shelter - Vegetarian/Vegan dinner!

[Guest guest]

Come out and support homeless animals of Oakland!

 

Wednesday, August 12, 2009

Time: 6:00pm - 9:00pm

Location: Aunt Mary's Cafe

Street: 4307 Telegraph Avenue

City/Town: Oakland, CA

 

Details:

The Oakland Animal Shelter is run by the city of Oakland, and accepts any animal

that is brought there. Given the state of the economy, the shelter's resources

are stretched very thin, and every donation helps the many cats, dogs, rabbits

and roosters housed at the shelter.

 

Aunt Mary's Cafe will serve a 3 course prix fixe vegetarian dinner (with vegan

options) for $35 per person to benefit the shelter. Beverages and tip not

included. There will be a silent auction, and we are also soliciting donations

of goods for the shelter animals. Please call Aunt Mary's and reserve early:

(510) 601-9227. Seating for dinner starts at 6, and is available every 15

minutes until 8 pm (so you can reserve for 6, 6:15, 6:30, etc.).

 

The list of items that the shelter animals needs is below. Please bring any

items you wish to donate to the event:
