Note: I would like to get the word out about this to the larger community. If anyone is interested in putting up posters (at health food stores, vitamin shops, etc.) to advertise these two events in their local area, please contact Pam Newbury (see info above). I am especially looking for people to put up notices in Carmel, Monterey, Salinas, and Hill/Gilroy as well as the greater bay area.
