3. Another Vegan Breakfast TOMORROW! mmmmmmm

What? Vegan Breakfast
When? Monday, April 16th (8am - about 10am)
Where? Lobby of the Burnett Honors College

BARC has teamed up with the Honors College at UCF to cook vegan breakfasts periodically throughout this semester. We will have pancakes, bananas, orange juice, samples of soy sausage, muffins, bagels w/ tofutti cream cheese, etc… and all of it will be vegan and free! Bring yourself and your non-veggie friends to show them how yummy eating cruelty-free actually is! We will only be there for a couple of hours, so be sure to get there early (serving starts around 8am) to get your fair share of the food.

**Just a note: we absolutely encourage BARC members to come and eat a lot of breakfast, but keep in mind that the food is not just for us. We are trying to cook for people who might not have ever been exposed to vegetarianism, and want to make sure as many of these people as possible get to eat too. :) Also, if you are an early-bird and would like to help set up in the morning, we need people to get to the Honors College at 7:15 am to help set up. So just show up at that time, if you can.

See you all for vegan breakfast!! :-D

4. Dinner and a Movie

What? Falafel and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
When? Thursday, April 19th
6:00 pm
Where? Community Center of The Towers
The dinner and a movie is taking place THIS Thursday (many apologies for the incorrect date in the last email). The idea behind these events is to promote veg-living and kindness to animals in a fun way. BARC provides the free food and the movie, and absolutely everybody is invited! The theme this time is “Falafel and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” so expect to eat a middle eastern feast while watching this hilarious film.

If you have a question about anything, email copresidents@barcdontbite.org, and you will get a prompt response.
