Guest guest Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Hi folks, It seems hard to believe that fur is still an issue. More disturbing are recent news articles that have reported that fur (trim) is a growing fashion trend now, even here in the Bay Area! So, I hope many of you are planning to hit the streets and shopping areas on Fur Free Friday. Fur free Friday (the Friday after Thanksgiving) is an annual protest against fur that happens nationwide. This event is open to anyone who cares for animals, whether they are vegetarian or not, so please invite all your animal-loving, compassionate friends to join us. I would like to invite all of you to join me and Chris for dinner and then we'll go to the SF fur protest afterwards that Carla just posted. Dinner will be at Golden Era, a well-known Vietnamese vegetarian restaurant in the Tenderloin. More info, see: http://www.bayareaveg.org/ug/display.htm?id=9 Golden Era is within walking distance from Powell Street BART as well as Neiman Marcus (Union Square) where the fur protest will be happening. We will order from the menu. If you would like to sit with the group for dinner, it is important that you RSVP for dinner so I can make sure we get large enough tables. Here is the plan for Fur Free Friday 11/26: 4:45 - 6:15 pm: Dinner at Golden Era 6:30 - 8:00 pm: Fur Protest at Neiman Marcus afterwards: Peanut Butter Palooka at MaggieMudd ?? tempting!! If you would like to join the fur protest only, there is no need to RSVP, just show up. RSVP for dinner before fur protest (by Fri 7 am): events For the fur protest, I would also suggest to avoid wearing leather or leather-looking items unless they are clearly marked as synthetic to avoid any confusion in our message of compassion for animals. Let's share the message that compassion is the fashion! Cheers, Tammy http://www.BayAreaVeg.org Please RSVP if you'd like to join us for dinner before the fur protest ( events ); RSVPs by Friday 7 am please. No RSVP necessary if you're coming to the fur protest only. Fur Free Friday 11/26 - SF 4:45 pm Dinner at Golden Era before Fur Protest: http://www.bayareaveg.org/events.php?EID=580#580 6:30 pm Fur Protest at Neiman Marcus, Union Square: http://www.bayareaveg.org/events.php?EID=579#579 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
