REMINDER: Going-Away Dinner/Book Reading, Thursday, September 15th, 5:30 PM

[Guest guest]

Hi again, everyone! This is a reminder message that y'all

are invited to my going-away dinner, which will be held on Thursday,

September 15th, at 5:30 PM at Garden Fresh Vegetarian Restaurant in

Mountain View, followed by my aunt's book reading at 7:30 PM at Books

Inc bookstore, also in Mountain View. At the dinner, I'll have

pictures on hand from my and Laurie Tanenbaum's recent trip to China

to share with y'all.

 

Garden Fresh is located at 1245 West El Camino Real in

Mountain View, at the corner of Shoreline Boulevard and El Camino

Real; their phone number is (650) 961-7795. The restaurant is two

doors down from the Baskin-Robbins ice cream store.

 

As Garden Fresh is a small restaurant with limited seating

capacity, we will enjoy their fixed-menu party platters, consisting

of taro spring rolls, moo shu basic rolls, steamed seasoned vegetable

dumplings, marinated vegetarian duck, vegetarian sushi, and scallion

pancakes. The cost will be $8.50 per person, which includes tax and

tip but not drinks. Please arrive promptly at 5:30 PM, as we will

need to leave the restaurant by 6:30 PM.

 

If you want to join us just for the book reading, meet us at

7:20 PM at Books Inc, located at 301 Castro Street in downtown

Mountain View, at the corner of Castro and West Dana streets; their

phone number is (650) 428-1234. My aunt Gloria Kurian Broder's new

book is called " Their Magician and Other Stories " , and it's quite

good, with all of the stories having a dreamlike quality to them. A

review of the book is accessible at the following URL:

Please RSVP to me at shoshana or (650) 948-4883

by Tuesday, September 13th so that I can let the restaurant know how

many of us will be there. When you RSVP, please let me know if you

will be joining us for the dinner, the book reading or both. I hope

that y'all can make it to one or both portions of this fun event!

 

Take care again,

Shoshana

Hi again, everyone! Thanks to everyone who's already RSVP'ed

to my going-away dinner/aunt's book reading event on Thursday evening.

 

If you RSVP'ed with a " Maybe " or if you're planning to come

and have not yet RSVP'ed, please let me know for sure whether you

will be coming by TODAY (Wednesday) at 6 PM, as I need to tell the

restaurant how many party platters to prepare. Also, please arrive

PROMPTLY at 5:30 PM, as we will need to vacate the restaurant by 6:30

PM; if you arrive after 5:30 PM, you'll have to order your own food,

which will probably end up costing you more than the party platter.

:-(

 

I'm looking forward to seeing y'all on Thursday evening and

to getting the chance to say " Goodbye! " See you then!
