What they're saying...the 2nd year...
Dear Lin and Robert, We are pleased to award you a $500 grant to assist with your wonderful effort in promoting a vegan diet in the Eugene area. ....With best wishes on your endeavors in the new year, Alex Hershaft, FARM Sabina Fund, Farm Animal Reform Movement
You never toot your own horn, so I'll do it for you. I think you and EVEN are fabulous and doing a fantastic job on a shoestring. I do keep up with your happenings at EVEN and, as always, I'm endlessly impressed with what you are accomplishing. - Jo Stepaniak, author of many vegan books, including Vegan Vittles: Second Helpings and The Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook
It is a joy to witness Lin and Robert in action as they lovingly advance the notion of going vegan. Their commitment to the [vegan] cause and their kind approach to all who ask for help is heartwarming. The amount of work needed to run a veggie group is near phenomenal and Lin and Robert unselfishly do all that it takes to make EVEN happen. My deep thanks to them for bringing together so many compassionate, like-minded people and for providing us with a much-needed 'island of sanity'. - David Gabbe, author, teacher, chef, David's Pure Vegetarian Kitchen
Eugene Veg Education Network is providing vital and essential support to the general public about the most powerful and practical ways people can contribute to sustainability, peace, and the overall health of our culture. In my view, it exemplifies the best spirit of community service and selfless giving, combined with dedication and cheerful persistence. EVEN is a clear voice of reason and kindness in a world often suffering from disconnectedness and violence, and it helps people to address the roots of our culture's problems in an effective, locally-based way. Thank you, EVEN, for all you're doing to bless people, animals, and future generations! - Will Tuttle, PhD, The World Peace Diet
I came to Eugene to speak to the EVEN group, and I want to say how enjoyable the experience was. It is so important that we have local groups seeding the public’s consciousness with the veg*n message. And we need really nice, well-organized people to do it. EVEN fits the bill perfectly! I look forward to coming your way again. – Jonathan Balcombe, Senior Research Scientist with PCRM, author of Pleasurable Kingdom.
Congratulations on surviving and thriving in this world we find ourselves in. We are amazed by your outreach and inspired by your pure actions. - Bo Rinaldi and everyone at Blossoming Lotus and Vegan Fusion
Keep up the good work! - J. Karandikar
I cannot tell you how impressed I am with the ongoing education/enlightenment that your group provides. You are terrific! - Alice Anderson, Redding Vegetarian Society
I would like to congratulate EVEN on their 2nd anniversary! I'm amazed at all you've achieved in just 2 years. Your website looks great and I'm inspired by how active you are with organizing events. Keep up the great work! - Wanda Embar, Vegan Peace
What a great job you and your group are doing. I am so impressed with the amount of work you have all done and continue to do to promote vegetarianism. Keep up the good work! - Best wishes, Roz Ostler, North American Vegetarian Society
