Where/When: , 21250 Stevens Creek Blvd. Friday and Saturday, 8 p.m.

Why Go: Chinese artist Tsai Chin performs in this fundraiser for the Chinese Cancer Memorial Foundation. And she does this from the goodness of her heart; Tsai Chin gets NO money for her performance. All of the concert's net profits will go for Chinese Cancer Memorial Foundation programs.

Where/When: , 19930 Stevens Creek Blvd. Friday and Saturday 8 p.m.

Why Go: Watching a belly dancer with the right music is a real treat. And you can be part of the audience Friday or Saturday night at Arya and try out some international fare while you watch the dancing and listen to the music.  This could be a nice change in your evening out routine.

Pricing: No cover; whatever you spend on food and drink

Where/When: , 10493 S. De Anza Blvd. Sunday, 10  a.m. to 4 p.m.

Why Go: See what's available for your bike or see what you have that you don't want, which is exactly what someone else has had their eye on. The swap meet is a fundraiser for ROMP (Responsible Organized Mountain Pedalers).

Pricing: Anyone's guess

Where/When: , 321 University Ave., Los Altos. Monday, 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Why Go: If you have been thinking about starting up a business, but aren't quite sure how to get started, Silicon Valley SCORE counselors will give you some guidance. And if you have started the business but are stymied about something, SCORE is there for you, too. SCORE counselors are retired businessmen and businesswomen.

Pricing: Free

Where/When: Bowlmor Lanes Strike, 10123 N. Wolfe Rd., Monday and Tuesday, 5-7:30 p.m.

Why Go: West Valley Community Services presents Taste of Compassion. The food is great and as the name of the event suggests, what tastes better than compassion after all. Half of the proceeds each night will be given to benefit nonprofits and other services that work on issues to prevent hunger and help the homeless in Cupertino, Saratoga, Los Gatos, Monte Sereno and West San Jose.

Pricing: $24 in advance; $26 at the door.
