Get Involved Fair, Broiler Chicken Demo, Raffle


On January 20th, Veg Club participated in BGSU's annual Get Involved Fair, hosting a table about our awesome organization! We handed out vegan candy and talked to those who inquired about what we do. We also got a handful of new e-mail
subscribers!

On January 26th, Veg Club held a demonstration in the Union about chickens raised for meat. Our catch-phrase for the day: "Bred to grow too big too fast, our bones and organs cannot last." We had a person in a chicken costume on crutches to visually demonstrate this fact. We handed out 200 "Not a Nugget" leaflets, had some good conversations, and got a lot of attention for the cause. One of our members got really into it, even having a mock conversation about poop contained in meat. Hilarious, fun and successful day!

On January 27th and 28th, Veg Club attempted to hold a cash prize raffle to fundraise for our club. We didn't make as much as we thought we would, so we will be extending our fundraiser to this Thursday and Friday, February 5th and 6th, so come and show your support!
