Introductions

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

 

I've been talking to a few people about this new group. Some people think

of it as an e-mail list, others think of it as a " club " or group of people..

a community of sorts. I tend to share the latter view... I attended the

video screening of " A Cow At My Table " organized by VIVA and ARDAC. In the

film, Carol Adams' statement really resonated with me... she said its not

the nutritional part of being veg*n thats difficult, it's the social part.

Speaking from many years of veg*n experience, I'm managing the social aspect

of it quite well. But when I was a new to being veg*n, yes, it was

difficult. Occasionally it still is. But that's why I hope veg*n

communities such as ours can help each other with questions, sharing

information, etc.

 

We've gained quite a few new members recently and that's wonderful (total

presently at 85). One of the members suggested that we create a members

database which we could used to get to know each other or find each other.

If you're interested in participating, please feel free to add your name.

 

Note - to use the special features of the groups, such as the database,

calendar, chat, and polls, requires you have a ID. This ID can

be linked to your existing e-mail account or a new free account. If

you would like to take advantage of these advanced features of the group and

need help, please e-mail me privately and I will send you directions.

 

Here's the direct link to the database:

Please also vote in the polls! Surely you have an opinion as to when we'll

have a vegetarian President, or whether you'd date a carnivore... and

inquiring minds want to know! Once you vote, you'll be able to see how

everyone else voted.

We've also got a question on the demographics of veg*ns, single/not single,

veg*n, etc. I'm kinda surprised at the results... It wasn't what I expected

actually.

 

Anyways, one more reminder - if you plan events, or know of events

happening, please put them on the calendar -- the more veg & animal events,

the better!

 

Cheers,

Tammy
