 This Sunday, celebrity cookbook author Mollie Katzen and Restaurante Doña Tomás will participate in a fundraising brunch and silent auction for the CAS Mexico Exchange program, now in its fourth year.  The brunch will be at 10:30 am, at Restaurante Doña Tomás, 5004 Telegraph, in north Oakland.   Reserve tickets now by calling 548-6274 or emailing BobLaird at sbcglobal.net.  Tickets are $30 and will be held at the door.
 

The brunch will feature a delicious menu selected by best-selling vegetarian cookbook author Katzen, and restaurant co-owner/chef Dona Savitsky.  Katzen and Savitsky will supervise brunch preparation by the parents, staff, and thirteen students of CAS Mex-Ex.  Katzen’s cookbooks, including the classic Moosewood Cookbook, will be available for purchase and signing at the brunch.

    

While in Mexico, CAS 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 CAS 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.
