Greetings!
In honor of World Farm Animals Day 2010, we are hosting a Group Trip and Volunteer Work Day at a Texas farm animal sanctuary! The trip will take place the weekend after our Annual "Texas Veggin'-out Days" Campaign, so mark your calendars in advance!
Join Vegan Society of PEACE volunteers and supporters as we travel to the veg-owned & operated Sunny Day Farms Animal Sanctuary in La Coste, Texas. On Saturday, October 9, we will take a tour of the sanctuary, volunteer at the farm and enjoy some great vegan meals. For those who wish to stay overnight, you'll have the opportunity to revisit the farm and meet for lunch at Green Vegetarian Restaurant on Sunday, October 10. We're also pleased to announce a discount hotel rate through this week at the LaQuinta San Antonio-Lackland for just $69 per room when you call 866-527-1498 and mention the "VSOP Group Rate" and Code 0523GRZDWR.
This is a great opportunity to interact with rescued farm animals and see first-hand how a sanctuary works. It's also a great opportunity to bring non-vegetarians along to meet the animal ambassadors of the vegan movement and see why living vegan is the most peaceful, nonviolent way to live!
See you at the sanctuary!
Your Vegan Society of PEACE Team
*For questions about the trip, please email us or leave a message at 832-3030-VEG. |
