Dear VivaVegie Friends:
The VivaVegie Society plans to become a tax-exempt corporation by 1998.
VivaVegie is going on its sixth year of operation, and it has become glaringly apparent that without 501(c)3 status, we will be doomed to a small and less effectual size. Not until we have this status will donations be tax-deductible.
Federal status may cost us as much as $800 to $900. We are certain this investment will pay off later. With better funding, we will be better able to carry out the work desperately needed for the advancement of vegetarianism.
Our plans:
TOPA vegetarian news bureau The meat industry has theirs--vegetarians need one too so the vegetarian point of view is available to the press at all times
Speakers bureau Here's where schools and associations can easily turn for a speaker
An information clearing houselibrary of vegetarian resources
The vegetarian archives
a storefront in Manhattan
a place to buy literature
a place for vegetarians to form groups and to meet (a great place for singles)
a walk-in resource for those who need answers about vegetarianism face to face
a cybercafé: Internet access to the wealth of vegetarian web pages
a nut milk/juice/snack bar
a bulletin board of events of vegetarian groups, local and otherwise
Yes, I want to help

with 501(c)3 status.
