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.

City Green Market- The First Vegan Grocery Store in the Entire Midwest!
Located at 331 Iron St. in downtown Negaunee
Owners Jeff and Carrie Plummer, also founding members of Northern Vegans, run an all vegan grocery store in the Old Bank Building in the oasis of downtown Negaunee called City Green Market. The Old Bank has been an antique store since 1987 and continues to run as an antique store as well. Customers have been saying that it has an old mercantile vibe to it with the mix of antiques and groceries all under one roof!

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

THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY AND DELICIOUS VEGAN FOOD AND REFRESHMENTS!

Also a BIG THANK YOU TO Kara McDonald-Young for taking photos!
Marquette Food Co-op provided delicious vegan appetizers.
We have gotten some fantastic feedback from so many of you. Many of you are planning on making some serious dietary changes and found the film What The Health to be a persuasive and powerful film.
BabyCakes provided delicious vegan muffins.
Change is possible. Eradicating our most common and deadly diseases are possible. We will discover along the way that plant foods are bountiful. A 100% plant-based diet is satisfying, diverse, and enables us to live in harmony with the earth and with sentient beings. Every year on a vegan or plant-based diet you will save at least 95 non-human animal lives. Every year! We all win!

Best of health to Everyone!
