Hi all! I'm new here but veg for 28 years-to-life

Hi all,

 

To Dan & the other new folks, welcome!

That was exactly our thinking, too :-) We're going to try and organize some

" live " in-person events... a picnic at GG Park next month and a local camping

trip in June. If you look through the archives, there's other bike rides, etc

happening. Be sure to check out the calendar too (its at the groups

homepage).... Oh! You should look for Erhhung's e-mail address (search the

archives online) as he has a separate young/active veggie list for outdoor

stuff. I don't know if there's a link to it in the bookmarks section or if you

can find it via searching , but Erhhung just posted a few days ago so

you can contact him via that. He's always doing some neat outdoors stuff..

 

If there's activities you would like to do, or questions you have, etc., just

post to the list. Chances are there is someone with a common interest or who

may have an answer (or the same question) as you do.

I always think its great when people post intros! If you look through the

archives, you'll see other intros. If you go to the homepage,

and select the " Database " link on the

left, there's a Members database and you can read a bit more about people there

(entirely voluntary to be listed) This list is relatively new (about 6 months)

and I think still growing. We're fortunate to have a veggie friendly

environment here in the Bay Area, and several of us do know each other from

other veggie activities/interests. But I think this list is also finding a

different population of people, which is great!

I'm glad you saw our listing and joined up! According to one of the polls

(again, on the homepage, see the " Polls " link), only 16% of people come from

Craigs but I personally think it is much higher, probably more like 40-50%.....

 

That's great that you were born veggie, you have an advantage that most of us

don't (most of the people I know who are veg*n were not born veg*n)...

 

I hope you can make it to our 6-month birthday party... it's going to be the 1st

Saturday in April at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. More details to follow

(such as exact location & time). Hope to see many SFBAVeg'ers there!

 

Cheers,

 

Tammy

Hi Dan and All,

I would love to also do a kayaking trip this summer with anyone interested - I

guided in Alaska for 15 years and have been wanting to find friends who share

the same eating values ( I'm a raw veg - like a sub-breed). A rafting trip

would be fun too. anyone interested in co-planning something?? Karen
