Thanksgiving Vegan Potluck! Thanksgiving DayThursday, November 26 Admission: Free! (contributions appreciated) Printable Thanksgiving Flier Doors open at 4:30pm Directions: Please join us for our annual Thanksgiving potluck. This event is always well attended and a lot of fun. Remember, you don't have to be vegan or vegetarian to attend. Please bring a vegan dish to share. Vegan simply means no animal products — no meat, dairy, eggs or honey. If you can, please also bring your own plate, cup, fork and spoon. Also, please don't wear any perfumes or strong smelling deodorants or aftershaves. Some of our members are sensitive to such fragrances and have requested this be a "scent-free" event.
5K Walk & Run 8:00am—Registration Opens This is a stroller and dog friendly event! Volunteering Every Thanksgiving across the United States, the local Turkey Trot race is an annual running tradition. Like these venerable races, we want to get people out and exercising and giving thanks for life. Giving thanks for life, we believe, is also having compassion for all living beings. So we say, "Save a Turkey!" Get out and run and walk with us this Thanksgiving Day as we spread the message of hope and compassion. Screening of Mad Cowboy in PetalumaWhen: Sunday, November 22nd Time: 7:00pm Where: Aqus Cafe, 189 H Street, Petaluma (corner of 2nd & H St.) Cost: Free ($4.00 donation suggested) Come here the story of Howard Lyman, a former cattle rancher-turned-vegetarian and food safety activist. In 1989, the discovery of a rare spinal tumor led Lyman to examine his life. In this film, he tells the moving story of his own personal transformation, and how he became a crusader for organic farming and more conscious eating habits. In 1996, Lyman revealed, to a national television audience, how the cattle industry potentially exposed Americans to Mad Cow Disease by feeding cows the remains of live animals - including other cows. As a result of his remarks, Lyman was named a co-defendant with Oprah Winfrey in the infamous "veggie libel" case brought by Texas ranchers in Amarillo.
