POTLUCK
As we've been mentioning throughout meetings, we've decided we are going to make our potluck this upcoming Thursday, May 2nd, after school. Most likely it will be in Ms. Clarke's portable. We decided on a barbecue theme! Sign up sheets are also in Ms. Clarke's portable. Everyone needs to bring some vegan friendly item. Feel free to ask for recipes. Also know that this isn't limited to strictly Mission VS members, so we're going to need members to help us promote. Tell all your friends, put up fliers, anything helps!
T SHIRTS
We were wondering how many of you would be interested in buying T shirts with the logo we presented at the meeting prior to yesterday's. Prices would more than likely be the usual $10. Let us know if you'd like to snag one, so we can make the order as soon as possible!
VEGETARIAN SOCIETY OF EL PASO DINNER
Ms. Clarke announced to us that the Vegetarian Society of El Paso is hosting a dinner on Saturday, May 4th, with guest speaker Dr. James McWilliams. She invited us to attend with her, however there is a price of $20 for nonmembers, and $18 for members or student's with a student ID. The information I am providing below is from the VSEP's event page.
If you would like a facebook invite, let Ana know and she'll get right on that.
VESP MEMBERSHIP
Also don't forget that you can become a member of the Vegetarian Society of El Paso for the low price of only $10 per year! Your membership will come with a free subscription to VegNews magazine. You also have access to fun activities such as potlucks, cooking classes, speakers, discounts on VS events, and more.

FUNDRAISING
Not too sure if anyone remembers, but at Fabian's benefit show a couple of weeks ago, Mission VS sold smoothies. At the end of the night, we made a total of $30! Keep in mind that this is going to go back to the members. Whoever has the most points by the end of the year will receive a prize, so keep posting all your vegan and vegetarian meals!
I, Tatiana, as well as all the other officers thank you all for your support with this organization. Keep spreading the word so we can keep Mission VS alive. We look forward to all these upcoming events, and we hope to see everyone there!
