[SouthBayVeggies] Vegetarian Cooking Class....

[Guest guest]

Ditto.

 

Colleen has offered classes on this side of the bay at least once, at

the Peninsula Humane Soc. in San Mateo. I attended that one. Maybe

you can get together a group of people and a location so that she can

offer another class in the south bay?

 

Also, I know that vegan cooking teachers live here in the south bay.

They don't have as high a profile as Colleen, and don't offer nearly

as many classes. Maybe some of them can be persuaded to offer some

more classes? Or at least to post here the ones they do offer?

 

The Peninsula Humane Soc. peninsulahumanesociety.org

offered a class on Gourmet Raw Desserts last month (I couldn't make

it!) for only $5. Get on their mailing list for other events, or

write to them and encourage them to do more.

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

Re: [southBayVeggies] Vegetarian Cooking Class: Healthful

Resolutions - Low-Cal/High-Flavor

 

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...
