Huge thanks to all of our volunteers who helped to make our 5th annual Twin Cities Veg Fest a huge success! We could not have done it without you.
If you volunteered for the festival, please take a moment fill out this short volunteer survey and let us know how it was for you. We really appreciate your feedback, as it will help us to improve the volunteer experience for future events.
Our next big event, the Vegan Thanksgiving Potluck, is coming up on Saturday, November 19. We need lots of volunteer support to make it a success. Please sign up to volunteer today!
Also, in case you haven’t heard, a new executive director for CAA has been chosen! We warmly welcome Laura Matanah into this new leadership position beginning in December. She’ll have a one-month crossover period, training for the position alongside Unny before his departure at the end of the year.
Exciting times ahead!
Best wishes,
Justin Leaf, Communications & Events Coordinator
