Thanksgiving Eve Dinner
Wed, Nov 24, 2004

We are once again approaching that magical time of year filled with bright city lights, festive parties, family and friends, ballets and the symphony, decadent food, and of course, the Vegetarian Society’s annual Thanksgiving Eve Dinner. Our hosts for this wonderful holiday celebration are again this year our friends at Govindas Restaurant.

This event is well known for bringing together the diverse arms of the vegetarian community, including animal rights activists, environmentalists, health vegetarians, ethical vegetarians, and people of various religious groups. This can result in some stimulating and energized exchanges. Vegans, vegetarians, their friends and families, and anyone else interested  in a healthy holiday meal are welcome. The cooks at Govindas never disappoint, and with their family-style table arrangements you are likely to make some new friends. As always, the buffet meal will be cruelty-free, healthy, low-fat, and vegan. The planned menu includes:

Green Salad Tofu Turkey Faux Ham Mashed Potatoes

Stuffing Fresh Cranberry Sauce Baked Yams Green Beans Almandine

Dinner Rolls Fresh Pumpkin Pie Baked Apples Herbal Tea

The cost is only $13 for adults and $9 for children under 12. Seatings  will be at 5 and 7 pm on Wednesday, November 24. Govindas is located in the  Hare Krishna Temple at 51 Coelho Way off the Honolulu-bound side of the Pali  Highway, just before the  Nuuanu Ave. exit.

Please call 595-6214 for reservations and leave your name, phone number,  the  number of people in your party, and the seating time you prefer on the  recorded message line. All questions about the meal should be directed  to the restaurant. We hope to see you there!
