"Promoting PEACE & Compassion for ALL Beings"

OCTOBER 2007

Dear Society of PEACE Activist Network Members:

October is an exciting time of year, as we begin Vegetarian Awareness Month and participate in several wonderful outreach campaigns!

Our 2nd annual "Texas Veggin'- out Days" campaign was held again this year on October 1 (in honor of World Vegetarian Day) and October 2 (in honor of World Farm Animals Day & Mahatma Gandhi's Birthday). This is a statewide campaign designed to encourage Texans to 'dine out' in support their local veggie establishments, and to bring awareness to WVD & WFAD.

Society of PEACE also produced a special radio program for Go Vegan Texas! on Monday, October 1st in honor of WVD, WFAD & Gandhi's Birthday. You can download archives of the show here. In addition, we hosted several events featuring Vegetarian author & historian Rynn Berry between September 29 - October 1, just in time for World Vegetarian Day!

Please check our events & outreach listings below and online for more information on the many campaigns and festivals held each October, including the upcoming World GO VEGAN Days!
