SAVE THE DATE!
Be sure to circle October 18 on your calendar so you will be sure not to miss this year's Fall Veggie Dinner and Auction! This annual event is AFA's most popular gathering, because of the yummy vegan food and the plethora of auction items up for bid. Did she just say "plethora"?
Visualize yourself walking out of the Wil-Mar Center holding onto a gift certifiicate for a tattoo, an electric toothbrush, and a pound of coffee, not to mention a chocolate stain on your shirt from the cookies you gulped down on your way out. This is an event NOT TO MISS!
We also need volunteers to help cook, sell tickets, clean up, and just sit around looking good, so contact Jackie if you'd like to help. Here are the deets:
Saturday, October 18, 2008 from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m.
Wil-Mar Center, 953 Jenifer Street
AFA Asks UW Chancellor Carolyn "Biddy" Martin to Review Policies and Practices Concerning Animals on Campus
Our state's public university has an obligation to all of us to conduct its business in an open and honorable manner. Unfortunately, the UW animal labs are shrouded in secrecy and rife with scandal and cruelty. Democracy cannot function without transparency. The new chancellor brings with her an opportunity to sweep away this culture of secrecy. Click here to read AFA's letter to Chancellor Martin. Please consider writing her a personal letter yourself.
