Dear BPC 2012 registrant,
We are pleased to offer Conference attendees varied meal options for both lunch and dinner on Monday-Tuesday August 20-21, 2012. These four vegetarian meals will be served in a food line in the nearby College Commons. The lunches will be available 15 minutes after the final morning talk, and the dinners will be available 15 minutes after the program closing each day.
This meal service is ideal for dorm occupants and all others who would like to continue the camaraderie during meals. The dinner timing will allow those interested to grab a bite and afterward spend time browsing in the PitcairnIslandsStudyCenter which will remain open until 8:00 p.m on both evenings.
It is possible to pay for one, two, three or all four meals, as desired. The menus are as follows:
Monday, Aug 20, Lunch: Taco salad, dessert & drink = $10.00.
Monday, Aug. 20, Dinner: Pasta with choice of two sauces, Caesar salad, bread, dessert & drink = $11.00.
Tuesday, Aug 21, Lunch: Asian stir-fry with choice of white or brown rice, egg rolls, citrus salad, almond cookie & drink = $13.00.
Tuesday, Aug 21, Dinner: Vegetarian burger bar, choice of fries or seasoned vegetables, choice of whole fruit or cookie & drink = $11.00.
Incidentally, a complimentary Continental breakfast will be available in the Fireside Room on Monday-Tuesday, August 20-21. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early to enjoy that. The Fireside Room will open at 8:30 a.m. on Monday-Tuesday, August 20-21. The final schedule of events is outlined in the BPC 2012 official program, which is available online at There is also a link on the conference home page at
Because PacificUnionCollege will be all-but-closed during the Conference, these meals must be specially prepared for our group. Therefore it is necessary for those desiring to partake of this option to prepay in full by August 6, 2012. Furthermore, all monies prepaid for meals are NONREFUNDABLE.
The prices shown above apply to payment by check or credit card directly to PitcairnIslandsStudyCenter. Those who prefer to use PayPal must add $1.00 per person to the price of each meal.
Those who prefer to pay by check to "PitcairnIslandsStudyCenter" should remit to PitcairnIslandsStudyCenter,1 Angwin Avenue, Angwin, CA94508.
Those who prefer to pay by VISA, Mastercard or Discover credit card to PitcairnIslandsStudyCenter should post credit information to PISC at the address above or email it to
. The following details are required: Name on card, type of card, card number, expiration date, 3-digit security code, billing address, and telephone number.
Those who prefer to use PayPal should pay to and add $1.00 per person to the price of each meal.
Those not paying in full for lunches and/or dinners by August 6 will need to make their own arrangements for meals other than breakfast. Other options include lunchtime sandwiches and a limited buffet service at the College Market situated one block from the Fireside Room. Unfortunately similar fare is not available for dinner at this venue. The only other relatively close-by dinner-time food would be at the cafeteria in St. HelenaHospital three and a half miles down the hill from Angwin. All other dinner-time food would have to be found in St. Helena (8 miles), Calistoga (11 miles) or Yountville (18 miles from Angwin).
We look forward to seeing you soon in Angwin!
