 CAS / Berkeley High Brunch fundraiser for Mexico Exchange.

Celebrity cookbook author Mollie Katzen and Restaurante Doña Tomás 
participate in fundraising brunch and silent auction for Bay Area 
students

 Sunday, May 22nd, 10:30 am, Restaurante Doña Tomás, Oakland

 
The Berkeley High/CAS Mexico-Exchange program will host a silent 
auction and benefit brunch featuring a delicious menu selected by 
best-selling vegetarian cookbook author, Mollie Katzen, and 
co-owner/chef Dona Savitsky of the acclaimed Bay Area Restaurante Doña 
Tomás.  Katzen and Savitsky will supervise brunch preparation by the 
parents, staff, and students of CAS Mex-Ex as a fundraiser for this 
summer’s exchange program to Morelia, Mexico.  Katzen’s cookbooks, 
including the classic Moosewood Cookbook, will be available for 
purchase and signing at the brunch. All proceeds from book sales and a 
silent auction will benefit the Mexico Exchange program.

Thirteen Berkeley High School students have been chosen to be part of 
this unusual exchange program, now in its fourth year.  The program is 
sponsored by CAS, a small school within Berkeley High where students 
learn media skills while exploring issues of social responsibility and 
world citizenship.  While in Mexico, the Berkeley students will live 
with Mexican families, study Spanish at a language school, and share 
their technical skills with their Mexican counterparts.   Working in 
small cross-cultural teams, the students will complete video projects 
that are important to their young Mexican hosts. The Berkeley students, 
who were selected regardless of their ability to pay, are now involved 
in several activities to raise funds for scholarships and other 
expenses, including the purchase of additional technology for the 
success of the projects.

Brunch will be served on May 22nd at 10:30 AM at Restaurante Doña Tomás,
5004 Telegraph Ave. Oakland.  Tickets are $30.
