DESCRIPTION:This organic, local-foods, Earth Day dinner benefits 4 homegrown 
 nonprofits: Full Circle Farm, Community Alliance of Family Farms (CAFF), 
 Our Daily Bread, and Silicon Valley Foodways.  More than a fundraiser 
 though, Full Circle Feast kicks off an effort to improve the entire San 
 Mateo and Santa Clara counties food system. Plus, your donation is tax 
 deductible!\n\nOne of the most positive effects we can have on the 
 environment begins on our dinner plate and the tastiest foods are 
 regionally based. Silicon Valley comes together this Earth Day to make ours 
 even stronger, chewing our way to a healthier food-shed. Full Circle Feast 
 models the Full Circle Food Cycle, and its three parts - producers, 
 distributors and users, with beneficiary nonprofits serving one of those 
 roles in our community. A fourth group, Silicon Valley Foodways, is also 
 honored this evening as it officially introduces the Silicon Valley 
 Foodshed Assessment, a ground-breaking food policy effort that sets the 
 table for increased local food access and decreased food waste.\n\nFull 
 Circle Feast starts off the evening with seasonal, organic appetizers 
 served on the deck of the newly opened Art Institute of California  
 Sunnyvale. A salubrious and sustainable dinner follows, prepared by the 
 students at the International Culinary School. The Art Institutes executive 
 chef Eric Frauwirth, visiting chef and author Laura Stec, and 
 representatives of the beneficiary organizations, will offer a 
 course-by-course description of the story behind the food. John Dickman, 
 former Global Food Service Manager for Google and Apple, will be keynote 
 speaker, followed by live music, eco-sweet desserts and a 
 rainforest-friendly coffee service.\n\nThis fundraiser is unique in that 
 what benefits one group, benefits all. Attendees will enjoy a delicious 
 meal and the opportunity to participate personally in addressing these 
 exciting issues.  Nonprofits receive funding benefits, and we come together 
 to celebrate the interconnected delights of good food, good works, and the 
 start of a stronger regional effort to build a healthy, sustainable food 
 system. Happy Earth Day!\n\nNotes\nWANT TO SIT WITH YOUR GROUP? If you 
 would like reserved seats at one of the "group tables," please let us know
