Vegetarian Life

Spring 2000

welcome to our spring edition of Vegetarian Life. We have come together for some great activities over the winter months. In January we held a “Vegetarian Celebration Day. There were informative workshops, cooking classes, and a delicious dinner to top off the day. Attendance was high and everyone had lots of fun! Thanks to all the special volunteers who helped to make this a wonderful experience for everyone! You’ll find several of the recipies from the dinner on page 7 of this issue. We had a great Valentines Day party at the Evergreen Gourmet Vegetarian Restaurant in Cherry Hill, NJ, with a delicious Buffet Dinner and an entertaining Kareoke contest. In March we celebrated the Great American Meatout with 2 events. The first was at the Singapore Vegetarian Chinese Restaurant in Cherry Hill, NJ with a wonderful Buffet meal, door prizes and beautifully relaxing guitar music presented by Gerry LaMonte. The second was at Fresh Fields Whole Foods Market in Marlton where Janet Erickson, President of VSSJ spoke on Vegetarianism. Everyone who attended learned something new to lead a healthier life. Fresh Fields provided delicious samplings of their vegetarian specialties. Our Vegetarian Neighbors whose home base is in the Vineland/Malaga area have been having some great get togethers with high attendance and more happy faces. Thanks to everyone for all their efforts in supporting VSSJ!
