The Annual Banquet is coming up in just a few weeks! Can you help out? We especially need more volunteers to help with cooking, serving, and setting up the space. Review the available positions and see which one appeals to you. To sign up, contact Dyne at dyne.stephenson@exploreveg.org or 612-709-8203.
Also, we’d really love to see all of you at our Town Hall Meetings this week. We’re looking to get input from all of our core members so that we can create a new strategic plan that represents our collective vision. Please complete this short survey and then join us for one of the meetings on Thursday, April 6 or Saturday, April 8.
Interested in helping out with our new virtual reality outreach? To get trained to use the equipment, be sure to attend the orientation session on April 8 before the town hall meeting.
Lastly, we’re doing VegWeek again! You can participate by taking the VegPledge. Even if you’re already vegan, you can pledge to share information about compassionate living. RSVP to our Twin Cities VegPledge Facebook event page and please share it with your friends. Then sign up to take the VegPledge at VegWeek.com. (You get all kinds of good stuff when you sign up!)
Best wishes,
Justin Leaf, Communications & Events Coordinator
