| Vegan Bake Sale for Haiti Disaster Relief Work, February 13 |
 Attention wintergreens members, Hudson Valley Compassion groupies, arm wrestlers, roller derbyists, farmers, activists, quilters, queers, country singers, chefs, hairstylists, veterinarians, cyclists, bloggers, and craft queens:We're putting together a fundraiser for 2 groups doing good disaster relief work* in Haiti in the aftermath of the earthquake. We need your help: 1 - getting the word out (flyer attached to this mail) 2 - baking, cooking, or making small artworks for the sale 3 - working the event 4 - coming and buying stuff In solidarity with other Vegan Bake Sales for Haiti, ours, too, is a Vegan Bake Sale. But my pickles are better than my cookies, so we'll be deviating a bit and also catering to customers who yen for salt, salsa, or spring rolls. And there's one more way our bake sale is a little unusual. Since it'll be taking place during Beacon's Second Saturday artwalk, it made sense to ask all our artist and crafty friends to donate small works, which will be made available at the sale. (Nothing priced over $20, please, and please, no animal products. The point is to help some without hurting others.) Yes, a quilted bowl makes sense. Yes, a CD of your music is great. Yes, your homemade granola is superb. Do whatever you do best! To make donations, contact This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it . The "Vegan Bake Sale for Haiti: Sweets, Savories, and Still-lifes" will take place Saturday, Feb. 13th at 6 pm, Zora Dora's Paleta Shop, 201 Main Street, Beacon, NY. All proceeds go to relief workers, Food for Life , and animal rescue group, Sodopreca, both on the ground in Haiti. Thanks in advance for your participation!
