Guest guest Posted November 12, 2002 Report Posted November 12, 2002 Hi all, Mat's original post about organizing a singles event, and offer to host a planning meeting at his place, did *not* mention any age limits. It was this second (anonymous) " veggie_singles " person who posted that remark. While I respect that this individual has a right to his/her privacy, I thought it odd that s/he expected others to provide their name, age, gender & possibly occupation while being totally anonymous. Ultimately, how the event turns out will be based upon those who are willing to volunteer their time to organize it.... So please -- all this back and forth about what is right, what is not -- while that information is helpful, it's not really constructive unless you're actually willing to DO something. So who replied to Mat and said they'd help? I did! I think having a SFBAVeg singles party would be fun! Also, please, if you're replying to a note from the Digest, please put an appropriate " subject " in your email so folks can see what you're writing on.

So please -- all this back and forth about what is right, what is not -- while that information is helpful, it's not really constructive unless you're actually willing to DO something. So who replied to Mat and said they'd help? I did! I think having a SFBAVeg singles party would be fun! -------------------- I agree with Tammy. I would be happy to volunteer and help somehow, too. I hope all the back and forth didn't turn poor Mat off and make him sorry he even brought it up! :-) I'm 45 and proud of it, and looking forward to events! I'd love to go xc skiing with a group of all ages, for instance. I'm just scared to death of driving in snow is all! Yikes! Lori Quote
Guest guest Posted November 12, 2002 Report Posted November 12, 2002 Thank you, Tammy, for these words of wisdom. I also would like to reiterate that I hope whatever event/s we come up with will be as all-inclusive as possible. I personally encourage people of all ages (and sizes, ethnicities, political affiliations, whatever) to participate in the planning. I also need to emphasize here that I posted originally not because I want to be the leader of this planning group, but only because I wanted to get the ball rolling. All attendants at the planning meeting will of course be considered equal participants. I also very much appreciate the efforts of veggie_singles, who is doing us a great service by gathering demographic information about people and their interests so that we can better understand who is interested and therefore what kind of event/s might be appropriate. I look forward to our collaboration. This idea has generated a lot of energy (and some controversy), and everyone's contribution is valuable. I only hope that we can realize some of the potential I believe exists here without losing sight of the point: which is for people (well, veg*n singles, mainly, but NOT exclusively) of like mind, values, and lifestyle to meet in a comfortable setting. Personally, I don't care how old or young or middle-aged or elderly you are. Come one, come all! Sincerely, Mat. -- --------- Forwarded Message --------- DATE: Mon, 11 Nov 2002 20:09:25 " Tammy " <govegan " SF-Be-A-Veg " Hi all, Mat's original post about organizing a singles event, and offer to host a planning meeting at his place, did *not* mention any age limits.
