Thanks to everyone who joined us for our Annual Banquet on Saturday. This sold-out event was brimming with enthusiasm. What a great way to celebrate 18 years of advocating for animals! I’m so proud of all that our community has achieved and look forward with hope at continuing to make this world a better place for the animals.

You can add one more event to our list of April events that we shared in last week’s email news. The 2016 Vegan Pancake Brunch Feed-In is not to be missed! Join us on Saturday, April 30 from 11:00am to 1:00pm at the University Baptist Church at 1219 University Avenue SE in Minneapolis. The vegan pancakes and coffee will be free. You’re invited to bring a vegan breakfast dish to share. RSVP on the Facebook event page or email Aurora Farnham at aurora.farnham@exploreveg.org.

Also, we’re looking for a lot of volunteers for our 2016 Vegan Food Showcase. Join us on Monday, April 25 and help us share vegan food samples on campus at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. These food giveaways are a lot of fun because, well, everybody loves free food! It’s a very effective way to engage people in conversation and open their eyes to the compassionate choices that they can make.

For the animals,

Unny Nambudiripad
