Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Some People and Events Veggies Should Know About We focus first on three great veggie pioneers: Fannie Schaffer creator of The Vegetarian Hotel in Woodridge, NY The late Fannie Schaffer founded The Vegetarian Hotel in Woodridge, New York in the Sullivan County Catskill Mountains in 1920. The Vegetarian Hotel thrived under her leadership, and later under her son, Verbie Konviser's leadership, through the early 1980s. A remarkable achievement, which spanned generations of vegetarians. I have many fond memories of fine visits to The Vegetarian Hotel. I wish it were still there. If anyone has a story to share about The Vegetarian Hotel I would love to read it. H. Jay Dinshah Fond Memories I first met the late H. Jay Dinshah in 1972. We were to work together on a variety of projects as time went on including the memorable 1975 World Vegetarian Congress in Orono, Maine. You can read more about the late H. Jay Dinshah and his work at : http://www.americanvegan.org/history.htm Marcia Pearson Vegan Activist and fortunately still among the living. Though many of the great vegan activist pioneers have passed away, Marcia Pearson is still with us. I first met Marcia Pearson at the 1976 North American Vegetarian Congress in Ithaca, New York.

A quick head count also showed that there were about an equal number of men and women at the event. It was a win win situation for everyone of both genders.

" We have no connection to the Jewish Singles Chat for Jewish Singles, or to its sponsors, but we will be going to it, and very highly recommend it to everyone who is Jewish and single, and within the age range that seems to have showed up last time for the Jewish Singles Chat for Jewish Singles, which seemed to be, roughly speaking, Baby Boomers, give or take a few years or so. Larry always gets a good turnout at his events, which he has been running for many years around New Jersey. You may recall some of those events which used to take place at Temple Beth Shalom 193 E Mount Pleasant Ave Livingston, NJ 07039 http://tbsnj.org/ for a number of years. The fact that this event will no doubt be in the Ticket Section of The Star-Ledger on the Friday preceding the event ,and no doubt other newspapers at well, will help to assure a great turnout. Be There! To Boldly Go Away From Your Computer And To Some of The Best Events in New Jersey The host group for the first event listed below is THE SCIENCE FICTION ASSOCIATION OF BERGEN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY PHONE: (201) 447- 3652 http://www.sfabc.org/ On Saturday Night January 13th,2007 c.e. at 6:30 p.m. the best possible event for everyone, and especially for single women, who often complain that there are too few single men at events they go to, is an event not advertised just for singles, that anyone,regardless of background, or marital status, can go to will be at the Saddle River Valley Cultural Center 305 West Saddle River Upper Saddle River, New Jersey in Bergen County, New Jersey If it is your first time at the event the host group usually does not even charge you to go. Afterwards they usually charge you $2 per monthly meeting and ask that you join their group. The host group is THE SCIENCE FICTION ASSOCIATION OF BERGEN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY PHONE: (201) 447 3652 http://www.sfabc.org/ The reason the event is the best possible event for single women is that most science fiction fans are men. In the parts of New Jersey where the science fiction clubs we know of operate there is also a very high percentage of Jewish residents. Many science fiction fans and science fiction writers and even science fiction stars, like Leonard Nimoy, (Mr. Spock), of Star Trek, and William Shatner (Captain Kirk), of Star Trek, also happen to be Jewish. Most science fiction fans I know are single men, and many of them, at least in places like New Jersey, are Jewish. Moreover the event sponsored by THE SCIENCE FICTION ASSOCIATION OF BERGEN COUNTY, New Jersey PHONE: (201) 447 3652 http://www.sfabc.org/ is one in a long line of excellent events put on by that organizaton's founder, Phil, who can be reached at THE SCIENCE FICTION ASSOCIATION OF BERGEN COUNTY, New Jersey PHONE: (201) 447 3652 http://www.sfabc.org Phil founded the group about 22 years ago and his group has been putting on fantastic events on the second Saturday night of each month ever since then. It's a tradition. The SFABC is NOT a singles group and is open to anyone regardless of background or marital status. ABOUT THE ASSOCIATION: The S F A B C meets on the second Saturday of the month and features talks, slide shows and other presentations by people in the science fiction, fantasy, horror and related fields. The Association sponsors a number of special interest groups, focusing on different aspects of science fiction and related matters,including activities devoted to books, movies, television, animation, horror and other events. We also produce a monthly newsletter listing talks, conventions, discussion groups and other activities of interest to people who enjoy science fiction and related areas. We invite you to contact us through our website: http://www.sfabc.org or call Phil at 201 447-3652 for details of his group's many wonderful events. THE STARSHIP LOCAL is a monthly newsletter of the Science Fiction Association of Bergen County. It is designed to communicate basic information about the activities of the organization to devotees of fantasy, horror and science fiction. We also publish a more extensive monthly newsletter, THE STARSHIP EXPRESS, for members of the organization. Directions to meeting site: Saddle River Valley Cultural Center 305 West Saddle River Upper Saddle River Bergen County, New Jersey The Cultural Center is not a church even though its architecture closely resembles a classic little white church,steeple and all. The parking lot is not too large, but it's okay to use the much bigger lot of the Methodist Church diagonally across the street. Important Note: The Cultural Center is on WEST Saddle River Road. One block further over is EAST Saddle River Road. Unlike streets in New York, East does not turn into West. The roads are on opposite banks of the Saddle River which is nothing more than a stream at this point. FROM ROUTE 17 NORTHBOUND: Exit ROUTE 17 NORTH at the sign which reads SADDLE RIVER / WOODCLIFF LAKE. (This is the exit after Sheridan Avenue, Ho Ho Kus.) This exit puts you onto EAST ALLENDALE AVENUE heading East. Stay on road for about mile and turn left at the first traffic light onto WEST SADDLE RIVER ROAD. Drive north for 1-3/4 miles. Shortly after passing a brick Catholic Church, the Church of the Presentation, on your left hand side you cross into Upper Saddle River. The Cultural Center is on your left hand side. If you come to a traffic light you have slightly overshot and hit LAKE STREET. Note: You will see a sign marked WEST SADDLE RIVER ROAD on Route 17 northbound well to the south of where you have been told to leave Route 17. If you take this exit, you will eventually get where you want to be, but it will take you a lot longer to get there. FROM ROUTE 17 SOUTHBOUND: Exit ROUTE 17 SOUTH at SADDLE RIVER / WOODCLIFF LAKE exit. This puts you onto EAST ALLENDALE ROAD heading East. You drive under the highway. Then follow the directions from Route 17 Northbound. Note: This way takes you a little bit longer than the exit for UPPER SADDLE RIVER, but it spares you making hairpin turns on steep hills at night in bad weather on an unfamiliar road. FROM THE GARDEN STATE PARKWAY NORTHBOUND: Take Exit 172, GRAND AVENUE, MONTVALE. (This is the last exit in New Jersey and is just past the Montvale Service Area). Turn left at the exit ramp and head west on GRAND AVENUE. There are a lot of small towns in this area, and the road that you're on will keep changing its name. At different points it is called GRAND AVENUE, MONTVALE ROAD, RAMSEY ROAD and LAKE STREET. At the second traffic light you will be at the intersection of LAKE STREET and EAST SADDLE RIVER ROAD. It has two landmarks that anyone in the area will know about: a 7-11 type store called Elmers and a Texaco station. Keep driving west. Do not turn. Turn left at the next traffic light onto WEST SADDLE RIVER ROAD. The Cultural Center is 1/10 of a mile down the road on your right. FROM ROCKLAND COUNTY VIA ROUTE 59: Follow ROUTE 59 until you come to Norris Pontiac in Monsey and turn south at the traffic light unto ROUTE 306. This road is also called EAST SADDLE RIVER ROAD. Head south towards New Jersey. (Note: Although the maps show this road as Route 306, and that's what everyone calls it, after you make the turn, the sign reads ROUTE 73. Don't ask me to explain it.) Stay on ROUTE 306 for 2.3 miles Note that there is a long stretch between the first and second traffic lights. Turn right at the second traffic light which is the intersection of EAST SADDLE RIVER ROAD and LAKE STREET. A Texaco station and Elmers are at this corner. Proceed west and turn left at the next traffic light onto WEST SADDLE RIVER ROAD. The Cultural Center is 1/10 of a mile down the road on your right. Science Fiction events are ideal venues for women who are tired of vastly outnumbering men at singles events to meet Jewish men, many of whom are single, because most science fiction events are much more heavily attended by men than by women, and many science fiction fans, especially in a heavily Jewish state like New Jersey, are also Jewish. The event mentioned above is a SCIENCE FICTION ASSOCIATON OF BERGEN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY http://www.sfabc.org call Phil at 201 447-3652 for details about the SCIENCE FICTION ASSOCIATON OF BERGEN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY http://www.sfabc.org and their many wonderful events. We also hope that you will join another New Jersey Science Fiction group which is called NEW_JERSEY_SCIENCE_FICTION_FANS NEW_JERSEY_SCIENCE_FICTION_FANS/ There is no charge to join NEW_JERSEY_SCIENCE_FICTION_FANS NEW_JERSEY_SCIENCE_FICTION_FANS/ or to belong to NEW_JERSEY_SCIENCE_FICTION_FANS/ NEW_JERSEY_SCIENCE_FICTION_FANS or to attend any of its events. If you go to a restaurant you pay only for the food that you order plus tax and tip. You never pay NEW_JERSEY_SCIENCE_FICTION_FANS NEW_JERSEY_SCIENCE_FICTION_FANS/ anything for any of its events. NEW_JERSEY_SCIENCE_FICTION_FANS NEW_JERSEY_SCIENCE_FICTION_FANS/ Wants you! Our Science Fiction group is for everyone 21 or older regardless of background or marital status. Younger fans should find another group. Please introduce yourself when you join and periodically as new members keep joining. We plan to get together at restaurants and to go to movies. We will see them in movie theaters, and, if people are kind enough, on people's home VCRs, or DVD players, for the technologically advanced among us. Buy your own movie tickets. Buy your own meals at Restaurants. Hopefully a typical event would involve going to a Science Fiction Movie and then to a Restaurant to discuss the movie we just saw. Please also join the Science Fiction Association of Bergen County, New Jersey http://www.sfabc.org and attend their many wonderful events. or call Phil at 201 447-3652 for details of his group's many wonderful events. Are you a single Science Fiction fan looking for a soulmate? Perhaps you will find that person here. This club is not a New Jersey singles group per se, and is open to anyone over 21, regardless of background or marital status, nonetheless, love is a good thing. Many science fiction fans in New Jersey also happen to be Jewish. Most science fiction fans are male. For the single Jewish woman in New Jersey joining a science fiction group may be the ideal way to find her ideal man. Unlike most singles events, which tend to be attended by more women than men, most science fiction events are attended by more men than women. If you happen to be Jewish, Single and over 21 Please state that you are Jewish, Single, 21 or over, when you apply to join the Jewish Singles at the websites the urls below will take you to JewishSinglesOfNJ/ JewishSinglesinNJforIsrael/ JewishSinglesFromEverywhere/ Time to Post Your Introductions Even if you have previously posted an introduction please post another one from time to time as new members keep on joining. Please state that you are Jewish, Single, 21 or over, when you apply to join our Jewish Singles , and in your introductions, and when your reply to other posts at our Jewish Singles Groups. Some helpful hints on introductions: Because our Jewish Singles strip out attachments please do not include attachments in your introductions. If a photo of you is available on the net please do include the url for that photo, if you are not shy about it. Another option would be to offer to email your photo in your introduction. Some Hints for email personal introductions are below. Please feel free to post your reactions to them and your own ideas. " likes fine dining " , or words to that effect, are a total turnoff. They imply that you want to be taken out to eat, and that you are not serious about being a partner in a relationship of equals. Do not forget to note in your introductions whether you are a smoker or not. Non-smokers need to meet non-smokers. Do not waste the time of a non-smoker if you are a smoker. If you smoke, say so. If you are a non-smoker say so. Are you allergic to cats? If so, say so. Do you have a cat or cats? If so say so in your introductions. People who are allergic to cats will have no luck getting people who have cats to part with those cats. So do not waste time trying to build a relationship with a person who is allergic to cats if you are a cat lover or vice versa. How observant are you? Please say something about that in your introductions. Do you keep Kosher? Please say something about that in your introductions. Please state that you are Jewish, Single, 21 or over, when you apply to join our Jewish Singles , and in your introductions, and in your replies to other introductions, etc. JewishSinglesOfNJ/ JewishSinglesinNJforIsrael/ JewishSinglesFromEverywhere/ The event below will be at the JCC, Jewish Community Center on the Palisades in Tenafly, New Jersey Singles 40-57 Singles Schmooze on Sunday, January 21st at 6 p.m. Spend a casual evening getting to know other singles through discussions on various topics determined by the participants.
