[Seac] Vegetarian/Vegan Earth Week

["clint freund" <clint_freund@hotmail.com>]

Hi again everyone.

This is just a little update for all of you fine vegetarian folks out there. 
 As part of our Earth Week(E.W.) events(April 18-23), I mentioned a day 
about food(wed4/20).  We've already confirmed some speakers to come and 
talk.  Sue McIlraith will be giving a speach about Vegan/vegetarian diets 
and answering any questions you might have.  We'll being giving away door 
prizes such as a year long subscription to Vegetarian Times.  That 
presentation will probably be take place over or near the lunch hour.  I'd 
like to have a strong turnout of vegetarian and non-vegetarian people.  
Invite any and all of your friends that have questions about these kinds of 
diets/lifestyles.
Other speakers we have ready are:  John Peck-->"Free Trade, Food Sovernity, 
and Globalisation."    Cattleana Ranch-->Talks about Community Supported 
Agriculture(CSA).
We're also looking into getting an animal rights activist, possibly from 
PETA, to come.  And to go along with the CSA speaker, we might have a person 
from UW-Madison come to and talk about their campus dining program and how 
it incorporates organic, CSA, and vegetarian/vegan food.
Another thought we had was asking Sodexho, for that day(4/20), if they could 
serve primarily vegetarian/vegan type meals and if they'd allow signs or 
tents about these diets in Blackhawk and Reeve.
If you'd like to help, whether it be suggesting a name of a speaker or 
helping with passing out literature or tabling, contact me. or visit this

ps.  Meatout Day's 20th Anniversary is on March 20.  We're trying to 
organize an event for that day.  Maybe on that day we'd have the animal 
rights speaker instead of on E.W.  Planning hasn't started, so any 
suggestions are welcome.    http://www.meatout.org/

peace
