DESCRIPTION:Eighteen culinary masters will place their unique stamp on Taste & Tribute, 
 the Tibetan Aid Project's third annual fundraiser.  The chefs, in teams of 
 two, will prepare and serve different and distinctive four-course menus to 
 diners seated around them in a horseshoe configuration.  Each course will 
 be paired with fine wines from California vintners. \n\nThe collaboration 
 of these renowned chefs, 17 from the Bay Area together with Eric Ripert of 
 New York's famed Le Bernardin, will make for an exceptional experience.  
 The interactive table arrangement contributes to an atmosphere of 
 camaraderie and goodwill.  Presented in a festive setting with 
 Tibetan-inspired decor, the gala event will be held at The Ritz-Carlton, 
 San Francisco on Wednesday, October 22nd at 6 PM.  The evening includes 
 silent and live auctions and multimedia presentations on the Tibetan Aid 
 Project's support for the production and distribution of centuries-old 
 sacred texts.\n\nFor over thirty years, the Tibetan Aid Project (TAP) has 
 been helping to rebuild and preserve traditional Tibetan culture worldwide. 
  Founded by Tibetan lama Tarthang Tulku in 1969, the Project is staffed 
 entirely by volunteers.  Its original mission was to provide humanitarian 
 aid to Tibetan refugees struggling to survive in exile.  Today, TAP helps 
 support the production and distribution of sacred Tibetan texts and art to 
 Tibetans in Asia.  It also provides general assistance to monastic centers, 
 sponsors traditional ceremonies, and works to promote awareness of Tibetan 
 civilization around the world. \n\nThe Tibetan Aid Project is a non-profit 
 tax-exempt corporation, registered as the Tibetan Nyingma Relief 
 Foundation.  For more information and to see the menus for each team of 
 chefs, visit www.tibetanaidproject.org. \n\nTickets for the benefit are 
 $250 per person and are available through the Tibetan Aid Project, 2910 San 
 Pablo Avenue, Berkeley CA  94702, (510) 848-4238 or
