Folks--
I know we have many battles on our plates these days. But if we can't
eat decent food in this town, we'll have no energy to fight them. I knew
something was wrong when I went to Pinang in April to take out dinner
and the Chinese jade Buddha whose belly we used to rub when entering and
leaving was MISSING. We asked the owners about its whereabouts--only
then did they realize it was stolen (so we tipped extra to start a
Buddha replacement fund). I say we find Pinang a place on Water
Street... rip down that old video store besides Kerm's and get good food
nearby campus. In the interim, please consider attending this dinner!
Warmly--
Pam

Dear Friends of Pinang:
For the last year and a half, we have had the pleasure and privilege of
eating never enough meals at Pinang, a world class restaurant which we
would be excited to find in New York, Montreal or San Francisco.
Yesterday, our friends at Pinang (Mei, Ken, Karen, and Chang) got the
sad news that the property had sold and must be vacated by the end of
the month. For whatever reason, Pinang was not a success in Eau Claire.
These families put everything they own into the restaurant. They will be
unable to relocate without our help. To help them move and start again,
we are throwing a fund raising dinner and silent auction at Pinang on
Sunday, May 22.
They do not know this event is for them, they would never ask for
assistance. We have told them that the fund raiser is for a political
cause. Please call our office 835-8448 to register for a 6:00 p.m. or
7:30 p.m. seating. The basic cost is $15.00 per person, but more will
help. If you have anything to donate for auction, please drop it off at
the Hibbard Law Office, 712 S. Barstow St.
Friends of Pinang,
Terri Stanley, John Hibbard, Jane and Jay Tappen, Heather
