    • AGM + Survivor’s Banquet

      February 21st: AGM and Survivor's Banquet If you are receiving this email, it means that you are a member in good standing and have the opportunity to participate in our AGM from February 21st to February 28th. The AGM will be held virtually, with some in person delivery for those who wish to participate physically. Every year, our club holds a general meeting during which club business including the election of next year's club Officers (President, Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary) and Directors (members of the Board of Directors) take place. We must have this meeting to maintain our status with the BC Societies Registries, the provincial government organization overseeing the operation of organizations such as ours.

    • Pokong Dinner RSVP required

      Hello VMS and happy new year! I am pleased to announce that the annual Po Kong dinner will take place in lieu of our in-person meeting this month on Tuesday, January 13th at 6:30.   The Po Kong dinner is a yearly tradition where members are able to sample many varieties of mushrooms in a communal setting. Po Kong's menu is fully vegetarian and features many fungi, including stinkhorn, lion's mane, enoki, wood ear, and more.   How it works: Each person orders 1 mushroom dish and all the food is shared family style. After the meal, the bill is divided among your tablemates (usually 10). The individual bill averages $30-40 after gratuities, not including beverages. Cash is preferred to reduce our queue for a card reader.     Before filling out the form, please take a look at the main menu here: https://www.pokongvegetarian.ca/menu (bamboo pith = stinkhorn, monkey head = lion's mane, ling chi = reishi)   To streamline the process for the kitchen, please tell us in the form which dish you would like to order and 1 backup just in case there's many of the same request at your table (ex. C30, E6). If you'd like the lion's mane/hericium on veggies dish (off menu) please indicate in […]
