[SouthBayVeggies] Vegetarian Cooking Class: Healthful Resolutions - Low-Cal/High-Flavor

[Guest guest]

Just curious: why so many posts for events in Oakland on a " South Bay "

e-mail list? I know people are vegetarian for lots of reasons, but it

seems sort of silly to ask people to drive 40+ miles or take 2+ hours of

transit to an East Bay event when they could save gas and help build a

vegetarian community at home in the South Bay.

 

I apologize if I sound harsh, and I definitely don't mean to be

personally insulting - I have the same concern with other posts for

SF/East Bay events on other South Bay lists. I just feel like the South

Bay needs a lot of help building a real vegetarian community here, not

elsewhere. My two cents...

Because Colleen is an awesome resource for the Bay Area and the South Bay

shouldn't be denied her classes just because they live outside the East Bay. I

have personally attended her book signing and will one day attend one of her

classes even though I don't live in the East Bay.

 

Yes, the South Bay does need help but there are those of us in the South Bay who

appreciate knowing what else is out there in the greater Bay Area and don't mind

going the extra mile if a South Bay resource doesn't exist.

 

Cheers,

Matthew

i have many people come to my cooking classes and dinner/concerts

from the south bay. I imagine Colleen does as well thus she lets

people know on this list about her classes.
