Vegan Drinks Philly 5.26.10!

Date: Wednesday, May 26, 2010
Time: 8:00pm - 11:00pm
Location: Sugar Mom's
Street: 225 Church St.
City/Town: Philadelphia, PA


Vegans, vegetarians, veg-curious!

Please attend Vegan Drinks Philly on 5.26 at our newest venue, Sugar Mom's in Old City! VDP is a great way to connect with like-minded individuals and get involved with the great work many animal activists are doing here in Philadelphia. It's also a great way to introduce non-vegans to a compassionate lifestyle by showing them how much fun it is to be a vegan! Don't miss out on this event at this awesome new location and bring as many friends as you can.

UPDATES


Thanks to every who attended the past three VDP events, as we collectively raised a total of $625 to support Chenoa Manor farm animal sanctuary in Avondale, PA. This money will be used to help cover the $200,000 barn restoration expense.

Please join Peace Advocacy Network this Saturday, May 15th from 1-4 PM on 6th St. between Chestnut and Market in support of a ban on horse-drawn carriages. Help us make it clear that we will not rest until ALL carriages are off the streets!

Vegan Drinks Philly 4.20.10!

4.20.10 @ The Belgian Cafe
21st and Green 7-11 PM


For vegans, vegetarians, and veg-curious:

Time again for Vegan Drinks Philly! This month we are back again at The Belgian Cafe, due to the overwhelming positive response from attendees who came in February. This is a great location with lots of great beer, room for mingling, and awesome vegan hot wings!

This location has plenty of space, so be sure and invite your friends. Vegan Drinks is a great place to introduce nonvegans to veganism. It's also a great place for new vegans, or vegans looking to become more active in the community and meet new friends.

++++++

FYI

Philadelphia just gave birth to a new vegan/animal rights/social justice group, Peace Advocacy Network. They are celebrating their recent formation with a vegan champagne toast and dinner at Mi Lah Vegetarian on 4.15.10 from 6-9 PM. The cost is $25 per person if you pay now, or $35 at the door and includes a glass of champagne, an appetizer, and an entree. There are only a few spaces left, so be sure and head over to peaceadvocacynetwork.org if you're interested in reserving a seat.

Peace Advocacy Network is spearheading several campaigns in Philadelphia including working towards a ban on horse-drawn carriages and creating new vegans with the Vegan Pledge. Be sure and check them out. I know they need volunteers if anyone is interested!

TWO events this month for a good cause!

We are pleased to announce there are TWO, count them, TWO Vegan Drinks Philly events this month in an effort to help Chenoa Manor raise the additional $75K needed to complete the barn renovation project! Please come out to show your support!

Vegan Drinks Philly meets Vegan Cocktails Philly

3.10.10 from 6 pm - 12 am
@ Cantina Dos Segundos
931 N. 2nd Street




You've heard of Vegan Drinks Philly and may have also heard of the new Vegan Cocktails Philly, but now you can check out both groups at the same time for a good cause- helping Chenoa Manor raise the additional $75K needed to complete the $200K barn renovation.

Please join us for a night of cocktails and vegan food. The more you spend, the more we raise for Chenoa Manor ;)

Here's the special vegan menu (in addition to their regular vegan menu):

Warm Asparagus and Quinoa Salad - vegan
with arugula, red and yellow grape tomatoes, red onion, tempeh croutons, sherry vinaigrette

Vegan Chorizo and Potato Burrito - vegan
With cactus escabeche, pico verde, lettuce, rice, and beans


Spinach and Huitlacoche Enchiladas -vegan
with roasted squash mole, vegan crema, and pumpkin seeds


Spanish Pocha Beans Tinga - vegan
with wild Mexican greens

*just to be clear- the restaurant also has a "vegetarian" menu and "vegetarian" items on the menu. Those items are NOT VEGAN and contain animal secretions. Please be sure that what you are ordering is indeed vegan so there is no confusion. VDP only encourages the consumption of purely vegan food out of respect for animals.

Chenoa Manor Barn Update

You might remember Vegan Drinks Philly raising money for our local animal sanctuary, Chenoa Manor, in an effort to rebuild their 200-year-old barn. We needed to raise 200K to rebuild it and we’re happy to announce that 125K have already been raised! This has allowed Chenoa Manor to begin phase one of the barn restoration, which will be completed in a few weeks.

The bad news is that phase two needs to be finished in the next six months or it’s possible that the barn will be irreparable! So, all we need to raise is the remaining 75K, which should be too hard, right?? Vegan Drinks Philly is trying to make it easy to help contribute to the cause with the following two events (and of course you can always donate on Chenoa Manor's website):


Vegan Drinks Philly MEETS Vegan Cocktails Philly



Vegan Cocktails Philly meets Vegan Drinks Philly
@ Cantina Dos Segundos 3.10.10 6-1 am
931 N. Second St.


AND ALSO...

Vegan Drinks Philly 3.24.10!
@ Tattooed Moms 3.24.10 6-10 pm
530 South Street


All you need to do at this point is mark your calendars! More details on both events to follow. In the meantime, we will see you this upcoming Wednesday!!
