HEALTH Events

Attention Friends:

This notice is to let you know that the HEALTH Campaign will be having a Spring Fling on 8 June 2002, to raise funds to purchase a Faunette, to use for education.

A Faunette is a portable TV/VCR, with wheels and it's own power source. The HEALTH Campaign has several educational tables and events throughout the year and a Faunette would be VERY useful. This unit will also be used for RMAD events and protests and may be checked out for use by other animal, vegetarian and environmental groups in the Denver/Boulder area, when not used by HEALTH or RMAD. There will be no need to have a power source nearby, so it will also be less expensive to have videos at events, such as outdoor festivals.

Instead of just asking for donations, we thought it would be fun to have a Spring Fling, so you can enjoy your donation. We will have a cookout (all plant-based), volleyball, horseshoes, beer, soda, and also music and games inside. Everyone is invited and kids are welcome. Volunteers are needed. If you are good at planning games or gathering donations of food, please let me know at the number below.

Where: Indian Hills Community Center, up Hwy 285, 4 miles from C-470, take the Parmalee Gulch Road exit, go 1 mile and the center is on the left.

When: Saturday 8 June 2002, from noon till were too tired to move.

Cost: A $10 donation for adults age 13 and up: $5 ages 6-12; 5 & under - FREE

Please RSVP NOT LATER THAN 4 June 2002. Leave your name, the number of people in your party, ages and your telephone number at 303-697-5024, or just send an e-mail with your information to anns@rmad.org

Please plan to spend the day with us for this good cause and invite your friends.

Wear your coolest Hawaiian or Spring attire!!!

For the potluck, bring a plant-based dish (no meat, fish fowl, dairy, eggs, honey or other animal derived products) to serve at least 8 people.

Those comfortable with plant based, please feel free to show off, dazzle us with your talent and bring extra

if you like. Also bring a serving utensil, your own place setting, your own drink and a recipe card (with some extras to share), listing the ingredients in your dish (Please note on your recipe card if your dish contains any hydrogenated oils),
