JournalNow.com: Veggin' Out

Contrary to a popular stereotype, vegetarians are not all champions of self-denial, pathetically munching a sprout on the sidelines while watching the omnivores have all the culinary fun. Instead, the vegetarians we know love good food and know where to get it. They aren't about to settle for a bland meal, either at home or at a restaurant.

A Sad Note

Anne Weaver, who with her husband, Wes, founded the Very Vegetarian Society of Winston-Salem, died on Sunday, Jan. 7. But the society says that, “Though Anne is gone, the Very Vegetarian Society will continue her legacy of education and support of vegetarians, new and old.”

Mrs. Weaver and all the members of the society were lively, warm and welcoming when Cassandra and I attended one of their meetings last fall. Meetings are held on the first Tuesday of each month, and the next one will go on as scheduled, on Feb. 6. For more information, go to http://veryvegetarian.ws/

Thanks for the post, guys. We hope you will come to another meeting sometime. It might take a half-dozen people to do what she did for us, but we’re quite determined. Any support you all can offer is much appreciated.
