Guest guest Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 What: Adopt a College leafletting (Monthly)Where: Academy of Arts College, SFWhen: 9/30/04 Thursday, 11:30 amFull Details: http://www.bayareaveg.org/events.php?EID=479#479Hi folksNow that school is back in session, I'm back to leafleting monthly with Vegan Outreach's Adopt-a-College campaign. While leafleting is not one of my better skills, I really believe in the effectiveness of Vegan Outreach's campaign to reach college students. I am totally committed to the belief and practice that getting people to reduce or omit animals from their diet is the most effective way to reduce animal cruelty and suffering. So I pledged to participate in the Adopt a College campaign monthly, for 30 minutes, during my lunch break. I know this is not a lot, but I believe it is better than doing nothing, and it is something that I can commit to doing.Here's more info about how well their program works:http://www.veganhealth.org/colleges/SO, I'll be in SF this Thursday at the Academy of Arts Campus in SF, on New Montgomery near Howard at 11:30 to catch folks travelling between classes. As I do this on my lunch hour, I'll be there for about 30 minutes. This activity is worth 1000 points in the Advocacy Rewards Program (which offers vegan meals, massages, merchandise, etc)http://www.bayareaveg.org/arp.htmPlease let me know if you'll be joining me so I can plan how much literature to bring OR if you'll be bringing your own Why Vegans (much appreciated, much less for me to carry in via the bus).This is a monthly activity; date usually varies depending on my work schedule. I will be leafleting on a Wedn next time (I like to vary the day of week). If you have date preferences for future activities, please let me know.If you would like to Adopt a College of your own, please contact Vegan Outreach (see link above) or email me if you need help. If anyone else is participating locally in the Adopt a College campaign, please also share your leafleting dates and add your event to the BAV event calendar.Cheers,TammyBay Area Vegetarianswww.bayareaveg.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Tammy, Thanks for posting this! I'm the Adopt a College campaign coordinator for Vegan Outreach and would like to just say that every time I go leaflet at a college for an hour, I feel like I reached a good number of students who will now make a difference for farmed animals. Occasionally, one goes on to become a great activist. So, even small amounts of leafleting can have a tremendous impact.
