VEGETARIAN ACTION
TERRIFIC IDEAS!
LIBRARY DISPLAY
In January 1994 (during a big snowstorm) John and Anita Mentzer of Palmyra,
Pennsylvania were reading an issue of Vegetarian Journal and noticed that a
reader had placed a display about vegetarianism in their local library. They thought
that it was such a great idea that they decided to do the same in their town
library.
The photographs in the exhibit are from old calendars. They made several handouts (the list of famous vegetarians got lots of attention), provided brochures from The Vegetarian Resource Group as freebies, and displayed approximately 50 "fast food" veggie products compliments of their local natural foods store. People always ask them "What do you eat?" They also gathered all the vegetarian cookbooks in the library collection and displayed them, too. he display was a big hit!
And then an added bonus — over Memorial Day weekend, their vegetarian friends from Iowa were visiting and were shown photos of the display. John and Anita were asked if the display could be taken to the Quad City Public Library System in Iowa. "We thought this might give some other readers ideas for creating vegetarian informational displays for their libraries," said the Mentzers.
TABLING
Jean Kaiser's group in Michigan recently tabled at two wonderful spots. The first
was a health fair aimed at elementary school children and their parents. The other
was a Saturday morning farmer's market in Ann Arbor. Readers can obtain brochures
to hand out at community events simply by calling VRG at (410) 366-8343. Donations
are always appreciated.
TEMPEH BUSINESS PROMOTES VEGETARIAN DINING THROUGHOUT
MICHIGAN
Vegetarian Journal readers Gunter Pfaff and Betsy Shipley started their
tempeh business 18 years ago when Gunter received a tempeh-making kit for his
birthday. The rest is history!
Betsy's Tempeh, S&P Farm, distributed tempeh burgers to Michigan State University's residence hall cafeterias. Their burgers are also distributed in several natural foods stores and served at restaurants.
