This event is now full. If you sign up for the waiting list, email your phone number to me so I can contact you quickly if there's a last-minute cancellation.

If you are interested in this event it's important to add your name to the waiting list even if you think it's unlikely you'll be contacted to go:
1) There could be last-minute cancellations and the people ahead of you on the list might not be able to go -- or I might not be able to get ahold of them.
2) It gives me a better indication of the interest level, which can help in planning future events.

Bunky's Cafe is a vegetarian- and vegan-friendly restaurant with a menu that has a mixture of Italian and Mediterranean food. The dinner we had there last year was delicious and got excellent reviews from everyone who attended. Our dinner this year will be a Moroccan feast...

Appetizers
Homemade hummus with freshly-baked pita.
Taktuka -- roasted green and red peppers with fresh herbs (served cold)

Soup
Lentil Soup

Salad
Moroccan Beet Salad with cilantro, cumin, and Moroccan spices.

Main Course
Veggie Couscous with farm-fresh vegetables including several types of squash, turnips, carrots, and onions.

Dessert
Moroccan fruit and authentic Moroccan mint tea.

Beverages
Turkish Iced Tea and Water.
(Wine, beer, and other cocktails will be available for an extra charge.)

The $15.00 fee includes everything mentioned above (except the alcoholic beverages), as well as tax and the tip. That breaks down to about $11.00 for the meal, plus tax, tip, and a little to cover the meetup.com and PayPal fees. Bunky's Cafe is giving our group a great deal. A meal like this would normally cost over $35!

Payment Information:
Pre-payment is required. If you would prefer to send a check instead of using PayPal (payment link above), contact me and I will give you my mailing address.

The $15 fee includes a little extra to cover PayPal's fees (74 cents) as well as Meetup.com's $144 annual cost.

Payment Deadline:
Please pay on or before Saturday, October 31st. At the event, I will have a list of people who RSVPed and a list of people who paid. You must be on both lists to attend. If you have any questions or concerns about this feel free to let me know.

Refund Policy:
If you cancel before the payment deadline you will get a full refund. There are no refunds for cancellations after the deadline or if you do not show up to the event. If something comes up at the last minute you are welcome to find someone else to attend instead of you. The reason refunds are not given after the deadline is that I agree to pay Bunky's Cafe for everyone who has paid me at that point.

What about kids?
Kids are welcome, but pay full price: Exception: Those 12 and under can attend for $11.00. And very young children who will only nibble off of your plate can attend at no charge. Please include all kids as guests when you RSVP and write their ages in the notes area of your RSVP.

Can I RSVP now, but wait to pay?
Yes. As long as I receive your payment by the deadline there shouldn't be a problem. And it will actually help others gauge the interest in this event if you sign up right away. However, if the event fills up, I will remove the RSVPs of people who haven't paid so that others who are interested can attend. (RSVPs can be changed until the payment deadline, if necessary.)

Why can't I RSVP as a 'maybe'?
Meetup.com counts 'maybe' RSVPs as part of the total attending. Since this event has a maximum number, 'maybe' RSVPs could prevent someone else from going. I've made repeated suggestions for them to change the way they count 'maybe' RSVPs, but until they update their software, I won't include the 'maybe' option for events that have a maximum number.

This is a vegetarian group. Why is the dinner vegan?
As a vegetarian, it's not unusual for me to be at an event where there is little (or nothing) for me to eat. This group has members who are vegetarian, vegan, and just interested (among others). Everyone is welcome. I think it's important for our events to have a menu that not only has something for everyone, but where everyone can eat everything.
