This Week’s Events: April 1 – 8, 2012

We’ve got two fun events coming up this week! 

SATURDAY, APRIL 7th, NOON – 2:00PM

TABLING AND OUTREACH AT EARTH FARE 

The first is a tabling and outreach event at Earth Fare this Saturday from Noon – 2:00PM. We’ll have free information and will be available to answer questions about going vegan. If you’ve been wanting to come to one of our events, this is a great opportunity to meet us and find out more about our group.

For more information, visit the Facebook event page or the Meetup event page.

SUNDAY, APRIL 8th, 4:00PM

APRIL POTLUCK: SPRING GREENS & BBQ

The second event is our monthly potluck. Potlucks are a great chance to try new foods and learn new recipes! We ask that everyone bring a vegan dish to feed 8 people, so that we’ll have plenty of food to go around. If you’re not sure what to bring, it’s always a safe bet to bring fresh veggies and fruit, or a pre-made dish from Earth Fare that has the happy yellow Vegan tag! If you’re really stuck about what to bring, feel free to email us at huntsvilleveg@gmail.com for ideas.

This potluck is at Lucy’s house in Madison. Please email us or call us at 907-687-9379 for directions.

For more information, visit the Facebook event page or the Meetup event page.

We hope to see you at one of our events this week!

This Week’s Events, March 8 – 11

 
Thursday – Movie Screening: Vegucated

A reporter from the Madison County Record will be attending and would like to speak with and interview some of the attendees and members of Huntsville Vegans. Please feel free to bring food to share! Doors open at six, and some members of Huntsville Vegans will lead a short discussion and take questions on vegan health and reasons to become vegan.

Friday – Meetup
6:00PM 
Cafe 153 @ Bridgestreet
Bring your brainstorming caps to help us plan an outreach to the students at UAH. We’ve been invited to speak to students in the dorm by our friend Tiffany Webb. Here’s what she said when I asked her what she’d like for us to present: “I like the idea of a few short speakers on nutrition, healthy food demo, and resources for students! I would like the program to last anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour.” Tiffany would like to do this program at the end of March. She will try to be at the Friday Meetup, but we can still get started planning this event if she is unable to make it. So please bring your ideas!
