Facebook Follower Remembers Early VRG Web Outreach
In response to this recent VRG Facebook wall posting:
A big thank you to Bobbi Pasternak, who has been sending out VRG's e-mail newsletter and assisting with outreach for over 15 years!Wow, I remember when I got my first computer back in 1996 or 1997, and the first thing I did was search for vegetarian sites. Bobbi chaired a vegetarian chat ... I wouldn't miss that chat for anything! I think it was on Wednesday nights ... so long ago! I used to record the chats because there was so much useful information shared.

VRG Materials Enrich Florida Veg Meetings
Our monthly events have been wonderful! Each month, 40-75 people who are interested in learning more about vegetarianism come out. They love all the magazines and brochures from you all!
I set them out each month, and they gobble them up. Any chance I can get some more?

Non-Leather Saddles Now Available
I had been looking for a good treeless saddle without leather for years. I asked Barefoot Saddles to modify its synthetic Cheyenne Drytex, which was mostly synthetic but had leather girth straps. They did accept, and now, this saddle is available in a ‘completely synthetic' version, without any leather. I thought you might be able to let vegan riders know.

Substituting biothane billets for the standard leather billets on this saddle costs an additional fee.
