We added a small handwoven farmer's market basket to round out the package (and hold everything)... I think it turned out ok! :-)

Smiling re. "Chez Pansies" :)

Thanks, James, for offering to provide the Panera certificate! I think we'll hold onto our CP card in that case.

best,
Sharon

I'm fine either way.  I think our basket will survive without it. Plus, it shouldn't be my call. :)

Hi Carolyn,

Thanks for pursuing all those restaurants! Would you still like the Chez Panisse gift card?

Thanks for waiting. Unfortunately only Camino responded and said they only support food sustainability causes. Thus, I have no restaurant certificate to add to the basket.

Hey guys,
Just FYI, I contacted some restaurants, Burma Superstar, Camino (restaurant in Oakland started by an old chef from Chez Panisse), and Habanas.  I will hope to hear back from them by Tuesday noon about whether they will give a gift certificate.  I called Chez Panisse and our cause did not fit their strict guidelines (food education or AIDS; and you have to mail a letter to a woman named Jennifer Sherman with a self-addressed stamp, just in case you ever need this info).

Thus, Lauren, I'm thinking I should plan to come to your place on Tuesday evening instead of Monday, in case I can add the gift certificate by then.  Sound good?

James and Sharon, do you want to hold off on sacrificing your Chez Panisse certificate/cash for another restaurant certificate until Tuesday?  If my leads fall through, what's plan B? 

Hope it's not complicating matters, but I guess I wanted to exhaust the donation route as much as possible instead of us spending our own money/certificates.
