On November 17th and 18th, Veg Club hosted an adopt-a-turkey bake sale to raise money to sponsor turkeys to live their lives on a farm sanctuary. Each year in the U.S., 46 million turkeys are killed just for Thanksgiving. We combined our efforts with S.A.V.E., who continued the bake sale on the 19th and 20th, to raise enough money to adopt three turkeys! We adopted Turpentine, Tibbott, and Martha, who live at Farm Sanctuary's Northern California Shelter. You can read about their stories, personalities and favorite foods here. At the bake sale, customers were given the opportunity to draw a turkey with their hand on a poster that we plan on sending in to the 46 million turkeys project, an art display seeking submissions to honor those lives lost each year during the holiday season.
On November 22nd, Veg Club got together for a potluck at an off-campus apartment, enjoying food, conversation and a vegan board game the object of which is to save animals. 10 people attended and we had a good time!
Coming up: No meeting November 25th. Start brainstorming ideas for a demonstration about world hunger and veganism (aka resource inefficiency of meat-eating). The demo is tentatively scheduled for December 11th.
