At the Snieckus family summer house

Orrs Island, Maine. Overlooking Harpswell Sound

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.

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. About SATV.

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.
