Spring Benefit Dinner

Post by AVN member, Jan

Held at The Womens Club of Albany on June 6th, the Albany Vegetarian Network's all-vegan Spring Benefit Dinner was a great success! There was a scrumptious meal prepared by volunteers, Nick and Britin Foster and by our President, Richard Hamlin. Live, traditional Irish music was performed by Nephin and the dinner featured guest speakers Maribeth Abrams (certified nutritionist) and Jenny Brown (co-founder and director of Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary). 

The dinner was sponsored by Honest Weight Food Coop and Vegan Creations along with some valuable donations from Bountiful Bread, Earth Balance, Jewish Vegetarians of North America, Laurie's Gluten Free Goodness, Linda Long, Moo Shoes, Organic Nectars, Starbucks Coffee Company, and The Phoenicians Restaurant. 

Upcoming events: Vegetarian Summer Gathering at Grafton, NY State Park and NY's Capital Region Vegetarian Expo in Saratoga Springs, NY.
