Veg Club Minutes from January 29, 2013
Business
1.) Vegetarian/Vegan Co-Op Research Results
-
As part one of the project of trying to start a vegetarian/vegan co-op at Bowling Green each member looked into one of several existing programs at other schools or programs (Hiram College, University of Washington, Oberlin and the Co-Fed organization) and reported their findings to the club this week
-
After some discussion of the various models we achieved agreement on wanting to develop a student run/cooperatively owned (non-profit?) business that would be open to all members of the Bowling Green community.
-
It was also decided that, given the scale of the project, we would do well to try to involve other organizations that might have the interest in and resources to help with this project (e.g. Net Impact).
-
Monthly Events
-
It was decided that we would like to have one special event each month, in addition to our monthly eat together
-
It was also proposed that we endeavor to have one bake-sale per month, as our bake-sales have been fairly successful. We are, however, hoping to increase our variety of offerings at future bake-sales. For example, we are planning to have a pancake bake-sale.
-
Special Events discussed included:- Participating in the Eco Fair in April (we had also wanted to bring a speaker to campus and it was proposed that we have the speaker come as part of our Eco Fair event)-Cooking classes: though no month was proposed, we are considering taking cooking classes-Documentary showing: we are probably going to screen Forks Over Knives-Sasha (Sanctuary and Safe Haven for Animals) Farm: we are planning to collaborate with Save in a trip this semester to Sasha Farm in order to do volunteer work for them.
