Guest guest Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 Hi folks The Compassionate Living program, sponsored by Bay Area Vegetarians, is a monthly event series that provides an opportunity to examine and present different topics related to vegetarian living, education, and advocacy via speakers, discussions, and films. It's included speakers like Erik Marcus, Christine Morrissey, Nora Kramer, Paul Shapiro, and (next week) lauren Ornelas and topics like Meat Market, Effective Tabling Tips & Techniques, California Animal Agriculture, and Effective Communication. We are now setting up the monthly schedule for 2006. We'd like to keep it loosely in these proportions: 4 presentations 4 discussion/workshop/interactive type events 4 discussions based on vegetarian / animal rights books We've brainstormed some tenative ideas for 2006, but nothing is concrete -- yet! The original idea for the Compassionate Living program was to present the topics in a monthly series, rather than a one day event, which we had previously done with the AR 101 and VEG 101 workshops that were held locally. From the feedback we've received so far, it seems like people really like the monthly format over the intensive day long format. (What do you think?) So, we would love to get some input from y'all -- 1) If you have an idea for an activity or topic that should be included, please email me. 2) If you are a dynamic speaker and would like to share your knowledge on a specific topic related to vegetarianism or advocacy for vegetarianism, or have a specific skill to share, please email me your event proposal and it would be helpful if you could provide some info on your background/qualifications to present this topic. 3) If you have suggestions for veg / AR book topics, please see the forum thread that Lisa recently posted. http://www.bayareaveg.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=49 This Compassionate Living program series is run entirely by volunteers and volunteer speakers, and provided free of charge to members as well as the general public. Thank YOU for your support of the Compassionate Living program and our goal to support and promote vegetarianism and build the veg community.
