Margaret and David Invite You to Experience a Vegan Summer
Retreat
Join
us at our family summer house - Crow's Nest - on Orrs Island, Maine,
from July through September. It's set atop a hill overlooking Harpswell Sound, a part of
Casco Bay. Join us for any day, weekend, or week from Thursday, July
3, to Sunday, July 20, and Friday, August 29, to Friday, September 5
of 2008! You might choose to simply "hang out" on the large porch
overlooking the Sound - a favorite pastime - where you can chat with
new friends or catch up on summer reading.
There's also walking, hiking, exploring, beaches, swimming,
picnicking, kayaking, seal watches, and nature ferry cruises. Or you
might prefer a round of tennis at
our family-owned courts, shopping and dining in the quaint town of
Brunswick, home of Bowdoin College, followed up by one of our
holistic workshops. This year, we're offering Macrobiotic cooking classes, a workshop on "Building
Happiness" the weekend of July 12/13, and yoga classes taught by Kripalu yoga instructor, Frank Rich, the weekend of July 18, 19, and
20. Please message David or Margaret at
info@davidsnieckus.com
to reserve your stay or for more information. We look forward to
meeting you in Maine this summer! |

Stylish Summer Shoes
It’s summer and too hot to wear
heavier shoe styles. And until recently this has been a dilemma, since
it’s always been easier to find vegan boots than shoes. Well all
that is changing and fast. As celebrities like Natalie Portman
create new, albeit pricey, lines of vegan shoes, more people are
forgoing leather and still feeling chic. Let’s take a look at some
of the more trendy, fashion-forward options in vegan styles.
Flip flops are everywhere and now they come
bejeweled. A pair from
www.endless.com at
$52.95 is fun and trendy without looking like your typical flip
flop. (Search for Yellow Box Women's Harbor Heel Sandal). Color is
also everywhere this season, and summer is the perfect time to show
off fun, bright-colored shoes. This
slingback from Vegetarian Shoes and Bags
at $34.99 will add pizzazz to any wardrobe.
Want to wear a pretty pair of black heels but
don’t want to look like you’re dressing for fall in July? Try this
beautiful, synthetic patent leather shoe with a cork platform. It
has an open toe and cut-outs on either side, so it's airy and
summery…and still black. You'll find it at
NeuAura Shoes for
$104.00. Search their site for the "Dipper without Hardware"
selection.
For those of you who are on the cutting edge
of style and must have the latest look, you have to have a gladiator
sandal. The problem with this style is that it’s generally not
flattering — since it tends to make your legs look very heavy. That
doesn’t mean, however, that you can’t wear it. You just want to
choose wisely. One of the best options is Paris Hilton’s Goddess
Gladiator Sandal for $59.95 at
Endless. Get it in
gold, if you have lighter skin, and it
will look lighter and airier by blending in more with
your skin. And it’s not expensive! So when this trend passes, which
it will, you won’t still be paying it off! Enjoy this July.

New parents: Join our weekly parenting group!
A free drop-in parenting support group in the

Institute (PCI), the term Organic Parenting actually refers to the
study of ancient tribal communities. Today, according to PCI, this

perseverance, and integrity." For more information about this
weekly parenting group, or about any of our special workshops or classes, phone Jennie at

Vegan counseling... for a positive change in your life
You've probably heard a lot in the news recently
about reasons to give up meat and animal products in your diet.
Being vegan is healthier, it's better for the environment, and
better for animals. But you're still eating meat, eggs & dairy.
Why? If you've always
thought about becoming vegan, but for some reason - spouse, family,
peer pressure, the media - haven't
done so yet, our
Salem Vegan Counseling sessions
for individuals and families will help
you to more easily transition from
consuming animal products to a more healthy, holistic
vegan lifestyle. Private counseling sessions last approximately 1 hour. No pressure.
Receive personalized vegan and animal rights counseling and support
from experienced vegans who have already made the transition. Free Vegetarian Starter Kit
included. Phone or email SVS to schedule a free, personal vegan
counseling session. For directions to the Salem Access Television
building.

SVS on Salem Access Television Channel 3
July 4 - 25: Honoring God's
Creation
SVS Presents: Fridays at 10 PM on
SATV in Salem
CVA's Honoring God's Creation & UTV Poultry
Investigation
This July, the Salem Vegan Society, in cooperation with
the Christian Vegetarian Association (CVA)
and Salem Access Television (SATV),
is proud to present the Christian/vegan documentary, Honoring God's Creation.
Pastors, professors, physicians, and lay Christians discuss how
their vegetarian diet is an important part of their Christian witness. They
explain how a
plant-based diet benefits our health, helps protect God's Earth, helps
relieve the world's poor and hungry, and avoids the inherent cruelties of
factory farming. In our second half hour, SVS teams up with In Defense of
Animals (IDA) and Undercover TV to
present a UTV poultry farming investigation.
This episode begins with an investigation of foie gras
farms, where geese are mechanically force-fed mashed grain until their livers swell to about ten times their natural size. These diseased
organs are then sold as foie gras. This video investigation was instrumental
in the passage of a law banning the sale and production of foie gras in
California starting in 2012. The other investigations document practices
that are, tragically, still legal in the US. These videos show ducks being
raised for meat in large sheds without access to water and
intensively-confined chickens being thrown around by workers and then
slaughtered fully conscious. Viewer and parental discretion is advised. |
