June and July Events Posted

Our potluck gatherings and restaurant visits for June and July are now listed on the Calendar page. This month, Kathy Monte has graciously offered to host our potluck dinner, while our restaurant visit will be at an old favorite, Veggie Heaven. In July, we'll have our potluck at the home of our president and vice-president, Ken and Susan Jaffe, and the restaurant we'll be visiting will be Dog Almighty. We'll also be having a Board Meeting at Bouldin Creek Coffeehouse after the lunch at Dog Almighty.

Follow-up on Joint Picnic with SAVS at Palmetto State Park

We all had a great time at our potluck picnic down at Palmetto State Park on April 25. We were so happy to see Kaz and our friends from the San Antonio Vegetarian Society!

We got together at the "refectory" (which is the dining room of a monastery, for those of us who were trying to figure it out), and took a couple of hikes on the neighboring trails before we got everyone together for the lunch picnic. Then we all chose our favorite things to do- some of us hiked on longer trails, a few went paddle-boating on the lake, and some just enjoyed the woods and nature and visited with each other. As the sun was going down we all had a second picnic for dinner.

Thanks so much to everyone for coming out! If you want to see some of the photos that Heidi Allen took, click this link to be taken to Craig Warner's online site. The photos are linked from there.
