The Vegetarians [Bay Area Group]

You may observe if you choose to avoid receiving a massage.
No fee.
Confirmation of your intention to attend is required. On the day before the class, please call or reply in the comments area that you will attend. My cell phone number is 408 449-6506 and my land line is 408 223-7776 (no texting).
First person to arrive will have the option of receiving a massage first. Anyone arriving more than an hour late may be skipped due to time restraints.
I will show you how to massage yourself and others. I will demonstrate how to give massage to people who are wearing clothes. Cover as much skin as you can, so that we can avoid/limit skin contact.
Students only remove their shoes (socks are optional) before getting a massage. I demonstrate the technique for each body part just before we massage that part. We all massage one person. After the next person gets on the table, students massage a different area (for example: arms on first person to receive a massage, then then legs on next person to receive a massage). Every student who arrives in the first hour and wants a massage receives a massage.
Repeat attendance is encouraged so that students have a chance to practice and to receive a massage.
For help finding my place, be sure that you have your cell phone and my number. My cell phone number is 408 449-6506 and my land line is 408 223-7776 (no texting). As soon as you turn onto Brigadoon Way, park your car. Your GPS will say that I live in an empty lot. I live across the street from that lot. You will see a "Meetup" sign on my car and on my front door.

Let's have some fun!!

Please call the day before to confirm that you are coming. If no one confirms that they are coming the event will be canceled.
Call (408) 223-7776 land line or (408) 449-6506 cell phone.

Join our Vegan Potluck at 5:00 PM, If you don't know what to bring, bring fruit or a salad or just call me for suggestions (no honey, eggs, dairy, mayonnaise, gelatin, or meat). If you want to share your snack with the hostess, keep in mind that I have several food allergies (wheat, cinnamon, green bell peppers, water cress, parsley, and chocolate) that might prevent me from tasting your tasty treats. Raw fruits and veggies are great!

Or join us for games at about 6:00PM or 6:30 PM.

We usually play games like "Tsuro," "Ticket to Ride," "Splendor," "Transamerica," "Cable Car," "6 Cubes," "Take a Chance," "Blokus," and games brought by you and others. Please bring your favorite game to share with us.

I enjoy teaching people how to play games, come and learn a new game or play an old favorite. I prefer games that are easy to learn, end for everyone at the same time (unlike Monopoly), and last 30 to 60 minutes. I also have a few that last 15 to 20 minutes. You can bring your own game. Longer games are less popular, but we did have a three-hour game of "Power Grid" played at the other table while I played "Ticket to Ride" and three other games. (Warning, "Cards Against Humanity" will not be played here.)

Schedule:

5:00 PM - Potluck
6:00 or 6:30 PM - Board games
10:00 PM - Time to go home, unless we're having too much fun!

Free!

You can help the planet by keeping some things out of the land fill when you bring them to my sewing clinic for repair. I will repair them for free.

I have repaired dresses, pants, blousses, coats, blankets, pillow cases, a sports bag, reusable shopping bags, a lamp shade, and a pair of slippers. I have created a lamp shade and an apron without a pattern. I instructed a woman on how to make a square dance skirt without a pattern (her friends were amazed) and one on how to sew a cover for an outdoor piece of furniture. The woman who made the cover insisted upon buying the amount of material that she had computed, but with my suggestion, she had so much left over that she made a cover for the outdoor grill. I altered clothing for a woman who lost 40lbs so that she could wait to buy more clothing until after she reached her goal weight.

I will help you repair your clothing, teach you to use your own sewing machine, or repair your clothing for you depending upon your skill level. Some people left things for me to repair and picked them up the next month.

During one clinic, we repaired two pair of pants, one pair of shorts, one blouse, one sports bag, and one reusable shopping bag. I taught two men to hem their own pants. I did much of the sewing, but they measured, cut, and ironed.

One woman lost 40 pounds and wasn't ready to invest in new clothes, so we altered her wardrobe. Another woman brought more than a dozen pairs of pants to be shortened. We shortened four or five each month until they were all done.

Just bring what needs to be repaired and any parts or pieces (button, replacement zipper, decal to be sewn on, etc.).

Bring everything that you want sewn and I will tell you what can be done. If we can't finish this time, we can do more next time.

I hope to see you soon!

We play board games afterwards. We stop at 5 PM for a vegan potluck.
