Hi all,

 

Just want to let you know that the date & times have been established for

the Bay Area Letter Writing Day! This is a great opportunity to put pen to

paper and put your compassion in action and " do the write thing " !

 

I know many of us (myself included) always want to write more letters, and

this is great opportunity to do so in a supportive environment and connect

with local veg-minded folks. Participants should bring their own letter

writing supplies (pen, paper, envelopes, stamps) and optionally a vegan

snack to share. You are welcome to bring alerts with you, too!! If you have

extra stationary supplies, that might be helpful to bring to share, as well.

For folks new to the group, we had a letter-writing activity booth at

write a letter with us then, the sample letters are still available at

From PETA's website on letter writing, " Legislators estimate that 10 letters

from constituents represent the concerns of 10,000 citizens. Anybody who

will take the time to write is voicing the fears and desires of thousands

more. " says former Congressperson Billy Evan (D-Ga.)

 

Thanks to our Letter Writing Hosts, and to everyone who'll be joining us!

I'll be at the Pacifica one, and looking forward to meeting other

coastsiders!

 

Cheers,

Tammy
