VRG Scholarship Recipient Expresses her Gratitude
Dear Debra and Charles,
I would like to thank both of you once again for dedicating your lives to creating a more peaceful world through vegetarianism and for taking the time to read through hundreds of applications each year for The Vegetarian Resource Group's scholarship to reward young people like myself who often feel like we do not get recognized for the work we do.
Seema Rupani, 2006 Scholarship Winner

Edward & Sons Makes Foraging for Organic Tapioca a Cinch!
In response to Foraging for Brambles in Issue 3, 2006:
I enjoyed "Wildman" Steve Brill's article on Foraging for Brambles.If you have a hankering for making his Wild Raspberry Tapioca Pudding, Edward & Sons Trading Company's Let's Do...® Organicä line now has organic tapioca in three forms: Starch (to use in place of cornstarch), Granulated (for quick cooking), and Small Pearls. Check them out at <www.edwardandsons.com>!

Spreading the Word with VRG Brochures
Thank you very much for providing us with 50 copies of your Vegan Diets in a Nutshell brochure. I have several people at my job and at my church who are considering adopting a vegan or semi-vegan diet, and my wife and I have many family members who are trying to reduce their consumption of meats and dairy. I'm sure my co-workers, family members, and friends will greatly enjoy the brochures. Please accept this donation as thanks.

Correction: The Easy as Apple Pie recipe article by Chef Nancy Berkoff that ran in Issue 3, 2006, contained a slight error. On page 6 under the "Pie Crusts" heading, there is the statement "The resulting mixture should have fat lumps no smaller than peas." This sentence should read, "The resulting mixture should have fat lumps no larger than peas." We apologize for the error.
