Guest guest Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Hello, all! My name is Marla and I was referred to this list by a woman who is on my Chicago HipMama listserve. I live in the Chicago area (actually, it's Oak Park, a bordering suburb on Chicago's west side) with my husband, basset hound and three-year-old son, Justice. Justice has been vegan since inception, and my husband and I celebrated our ten-year anniversary of veganism this year. Yippee! I'm active in progressive politics locally, and am the co-founder and former chairperson of EarthSave Chicago. Lately I've been focusing a lot of attention on our newest creation, the Chicago Vegan Family Network. We started this last October, and we have vegan monthly potlucks as well as other get- togethers. We even had a camping trip, complete with vegan s'mores, in June. It is so nice to have this community for ourselves and our children. If anyone lives in the Chicago area and would like to be on the listserve, please let me know. We are thirty families strong without promoting it too much, which is great. We're planning to start a website and more of a promotional push soon. I look forward to being on this listserve and learning/sharing a lot. Take care, Marla Rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
