Hello everyone,
I hope you all enjoyed your summer months, whether they involved more classes, summer work, or time at the beach. The UVic Vegan Association is poised to have its 18th active semester this Fall, but we'll need your help to make it happen.
First, we have the very important Clubs Days coming up in two weeks. We need a volunteer to sign us up for a table on the morning of the 13th, and volunteers to help greet new vegans and future vegans at our table on the 14th and 15th. Any time commitment is much appreciated. If you can spare any of your time for this, please contact us at
uvaco...@gmail.com to let us know.
Second, the UVA needs some new directors to help carry the club forward. Many recent directors have completed studies at UVic and are moving on. Some of us are still around, and more than willing to help out, but Real Life is making it hard for us to continue committing as much time as we have in the past. Traditionally, anyone who expresses interest in helping out the UVA is invited to be a director but now we need to actively encourage you fine folks to help us out. The UVA can't continue without you.
There is no limit on the number of directors. As well, there is no strict set of duties for a person to be a director - you set your own time-commitment and gauge your own effort put into UVA activities.
If you've attended any of our presentations or reading groups, then you probably have a good idea of what the UVA is about. Here is a link to our Mission, Vision, and Values:

Cheers,
- the UVA directors
