Northern Vegans 11th Annual Thanksgiving Potluck



Please join us on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 23th at 12:30pm. This is our most popular social event of the year and the food is fantastic. Our recipe link page is here for searching out great vegan recipes: www.northernvegans.com/links/recipes/  

The potluck will be held at the Immanuel Lutheran Church in Negaunee on 520 US-41 (on the corner of US-41 and Baldwin Ave.).

Please bring a vegan dish to share ( Vegan omits all animal products including meat, dairy, eggs, and honey. Anything from the plant kingdom is vegan.).

Also please bring a serving utensil for that dish.  Please bring your own table service: plate, utensils, and cup. We really appreciate that. This will help reduce waste and cleaning time and it is the most environmentally-friendly way to go (rather than using disposable items).   Water, tea, and coffee will be provided.  Please bring your recipe or ingredient list to help those with food allergies.

Donations to Northern Vegans are welcome!   More at www.northernvegans.com or www.facebook.com/NorthernVegans

New Local Resource for U.P. Vegans and Those Interested in Making the Transition
Natasha Lantz, one of the founding members of Northern Vegans, recently started  Plant Centered Living  (PCL).  PCL helps people to better understand the joys and challenges their transition to a plant centered lifestyle will bring and how to articulate what being plant centered truly means to those around them-family, friends, health care providers, co-workers, etc.  Having confidence in one's decision to lead a plant centered lifestyle is critical to the successful navigation of daily living in a world that is not designed to make the healthy and ethical choice, the easy choice.  PCL offers a range of resources from mentoring to  Natasha's Notes, a practical 75-page resource guide.  Plant Centered Living services and resources are available to those living in the U.P. and anywhere around the world, so please help Natasha get the word out by sharing the website with your personal networks.  Visit   www.plantcenteredliving.com , email   [email protected] or call 906.235-5430 to learn more.

Northern Vegans is always in need of donations to continue our great work in the community.  

PLEASE CONSIDER MAKING A DONATION THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

As most of you know, not only are we a not for profit group with no paid employees, but we also often fund our group with our personal funds as board members.  Northern Vegans has existed since 2006 and a short list of our accomplishments in the community include: library donations of vegan related books and media numbering in the hundreds; dozens of movie/documentary showings; over a hundred restaurant meet ups and other socials; numerous vegan presentations; countless tabling events; immense amount of vegan literature dispersed; and the list really goes on and on.  
 
Help us continue spreading the message and consider donating to us today.  No amount is too small and we use every bit of it to our fullest extent.  In fact it is not outlandish to say that for every $1.00 that is donated we put at least 50 cents more into that $1.00 simply because we work on a 100% volunteer basis, no salaries, and several of us continuously put our own personal money into the necessary expenses for the group. 

Please send donations to:
Northern Vegans
P.O. Box 126
Negaunee, MI 49866
  
THANK YOU!
