Club VEG Home
elcome to the Club VEG web page. Club VEG is a
regional, 501(c)(3) non-profit vegetarian
education group. Currently, we have chapters in
the Southern Tier New York area (Southern
Tier chapter), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
area (Philly
chapter), and our newest chapter in the
Long Island area (Long
Island Chapter). More chapters are coming.
Our mission is to provide education to the public, healthcare professionals, and health organizations
about the benefits of a healthy vegan
lifestyle. Events include vegan potluck dinners,
restaurant outings, buffet dinners cooked by
nationally known chefs with nationally known
speakers (often health care professionals such as M.D.'s or Registered Dieticians). We table at
health fairs and other community events such as
Earth Day and put on our own events such as the
Great
American Meatout. Club VEG also offers speakers for
presentations to medical professionals, schools, community
groups and work-site programs. We provide resources and
referrals to the many people calling us who are looking to
change their diet when they are diagnosed with heart
disease, cancer, diabetes, and autoimmune diseases or those
who wish to do all they can to prevent these diseases in the
first place. We also provide resources to those who are
changing their diets to reduce animal use and environmental
destruction by providing recipes, nutritional information,
shopping tips, and ingredient interpretations.
Benefits of membership
include a bi-monthly newsletter, a discount
program, special member rates at our events,
and when we start selling books, a discount on
books.

Excerpts: People everywhere are making choices more connected with their values. We are simplifying our lives, buying less, and living more, because we know the earth supplies enough for everyone's need, but not everyone's greed.
