grassroots vegetarian outreach meeting update

[Guest guest]

Hi everybody,

Just wanted to send a quick update about the meeting that we had this week

to discuss vegetarian outreach. Below is a list of events that we have

identified as good opportunities for leafleting and outreach. If you are

able to come to any of these, please let me know! It is especially helpful

if you have a car. Also, take special note of events that don't yet have

anybody attending or only have one person attending, as they may not happen

without you! New people are always welcome!

Upon request, we will have our next meeting on a weekend. Four weeks from

now is Thanksgiving, so I am thinking Sunday November 20 for that meeting.

Does that work for you? Since it is right before Thanksgiving, maybe we can

plan to have a leafleting or event for the turkeys the 20th before or after

the meeting. Please let me know if you have any ideas!

Hope everyone is doing well,

Nora
