I hope this email finds you well, preparing to celebrate Thanksgiving with loved ones in the most compassionate way possible. We had an awesome Vegan Thanksgiving Potluck for our community last weekend. We hope you were able to join us for that, and we thank all the volunteers who helped to make the event a big success.
December will be here before we know it, and we’ve got an array of upcoming events to tell you about. First and foremost, our year-end fundraising campaign will begin on December 1 and continue through December 31. We’ll have lots of exciting news about that in next week’s update. Be on the lookout and please consider including Compassionate Action for Animals in your holiday giving.
Here are some other events to bring you together with the CAA community through the end of the year:
- Volunteer Appreciation Party
- Saturday, December 5, 6:00 – 9:00pm, 701 15th Ave SE, Minneapolis
