Pre-Thanksgiving Tabling discussed
Postering on Sunday, Nov 23 at 5pm. Meet at Union lobby.

S.C.A.N. Fur Free Friday protest against Neiman Marcus (Carcass) fur-pushing: Friday, Nov. 28. 1pm. Neiman Marcus at Somerset Mall in Troy, MI. See http://www.scan2005.com/EVENTS.html for more details. If you aren’t going to be in town, check out http://www.neimancarcass.com/fffsched.cfm for other FFF events near you (it’s a nation-wide event)

Anti-fur campaign suggested. Limiting the number and breadth of our campaigns suggested. Anyway, if we decide to do an anti-fur campaign, here’s what we came up with: tabling, handouts, letter to newspapers (the standard stuff). Also: screening movie the Witness at local theaters. Maybe do a subset of these activities and don’t call it a campaign. Eric volunteers to write letter to Michigan Daily about fur. He shouldn’t have, as he is too busy this week to justify allocating time to additional projects. Someone else, therefore, should. Smiley face. :) Email Julie (julieiro) with suggestions or questions.

Kate brings vegan cookies, traffic update. Long live vegan cookies.

Saturday – SASHA Farm day. Meet @ Cube @ 10am this week. Let’s go pet some cows.

Great Lakes Rabbit Sanctuary – Sarah is going Monday (to be orientated) and Wednesday (to feed, pet, etc., rabbits). Emmy and Eric show interest in attending said activities. Others should email Sarah (sarahkl) if interested.

New Website – we have a new website. www.umich.edu/~humanity – email Eric (egoldber) with suggestions, praise, threats, etc.

Closings and Meeting Evaluations:

Eric: More direction needed.
Julie: agrees
Kate: wants to be on-time next time.
Sarah: liked cookies
Kathy: liked cookies also; more concrete issues desired
Emmy: wants books, videos, and other vegan stuff. Suggests a website section for local veg eats.
Alex: liked meeting everyone.

That’s all, folks.
