| "$15 for Fall" Fundraising Campaign
Fall is always a busy (and expensive) season for Society of PEACE with many annual outreach campaigns, tabling at local festivals & events, and ongoing literature distribution.
Through our "$15 for Fall" Fundraising Campaign, you can help us fund and replenish our vegetarian & animal advocacy literature supplies!
We wish to thank our wonderful members for supporting our mission of outreach, education and advocacy!

Greetings!
We wish to thank everyone who attended and supported our Movie Night & Vegan Bake Sale last month! The Aurora Theater was almost filled to capacity due to such an outstanding turnout from the community! It was a great event and, through the bake sale, we were able to raise more funds to support our outreach. Another movie night & bake sale will be announced in the coming months!
This month, we are hosting two educational events in Houston featuring the President & Co-founder of Farm Sanctuary, GENE BAUR! You won't want to miss the opportunity to hear our featured guest speaker from the nation's largest farm animal protection organization! Learn about the issues surrounding farm animal rights and why a plant-based diet is the most compassionate choice. See our "featured events" section for more details.
And remember, we're giving our members the opportunity to select a name for our monthly E-Newsletter. As mentioned last month, we're looking for something creative & unique -- something that ties in with our mission and the meaning behind our acronym. Through the end of September, we invite you to submit your entry online in our "Name the Newsletter" contest. We have a great prize to give away, which includes Society of PEACE logo goodies and a one year subscription to VegNews Magazine! The winner and name will be announced in November. Keep those entries coming!
We hope to see you at our featured events this month!
For a compassionate world,
