MEATLESS SUNDAY
A local group called Food Not Bombs will serve free vegan food 5 p.m. Sunday at Little Acorn Park (next to Bagel Cafe).

Those interested in cooking for Sunday can email organizers at foodnotbombsislavista@gmail.com. The dinner is regularly held every Sunday.

PENCILS AND PANCAKES

They will be serving pancakes and eggs, along with a side of cracking the books. As it says on their event page, “come for the pancakes, stay for the studying.” The event runs from 10-11 p.m.
