ThanksGiving

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

 

Thanksgiving is a really fun day for us, as we share it vegan-style

surrounded by friends and great vegan food. It always reminds us to

reflect and give thanks for what we do have. In that spirit, we

wanted to take a few minutes to let folks know that we have

appreciated their support and participation with BAY AREA VEGETARIANS

during 2003. We know the year isn't over yet, but why should we have

to wait until then to say " thank you " .

 

Thank you to all the folks who have partcipated at our Vegan Food

Parties, vegan camping trips, Dining out, and other events (nearly 50

events so far this year!)

 

Thank you to our wonderful volunteer event organizers who make events

happen for the rest of us. A big thank you to our Veggie Important

People... These are the folks who have already held delicious Vegan

Food Parties for us this year: Lyman, Nicole & Regina, Kim & Jamie,

Alex, Caity, Marni, Mary Margaret, Warren, Mike & Joanna, Bill, and

Pam... You can see their smiling faces at:

Thank you to everyone who has posted such interesting and thoughtful

messages to the SFBAVEG list and bulletin board. A big thanks to

Kim, who along with us, does all the behind-the-scenes list admin

work to keep SFBAVEG running smoothly, thwarting the spammers, every

day..

 

Thank you to the folks who have helped us table at events like We the

Planet, Pride Festival, Doggone Fun Run, Veggie Cook-Off... Thanks to

Lori who organized a lecture by Dr. Greger and fundraising dinner for

him... Thank you to Bob, the originator and organizer of the savory

and successful Monthly Vegan Dinners in Oakland. Thank you to our

Thanksgiving event volunteers; this is our first year trying this and

we've got 5 Thanksgiving Day events being held throughout the Bay

Area!

 

Thanks to everyone who's voted in the Vegetarian Restaurant Contest,

and to our prize donors -- Compassionate Cooks, NAVS, VegDining.com,

Thank you to everyone who has recommended our group to your old and

new veg friends. We have over 1,400 registered members on SFBAVEG,

SFBAVEG-EVENTS, and the bulletin board.

 

And finally, thanks to all the other folks, and other veg and animal

rights groups, for being partners in compassion & good health and

making our corner of the world a more veggie-friendly place for all

of us, and the animals we share it with. We have found our lives

enriched by the people and the ideas within our veg and animal rights

community, and we hope you have benefitted as well.

 

Have a veggie good day!

 

Cheers,

Tammy & Chris

Bay Area Vegetarians
