1. Dinner-and-a-Movie: Pasta and Princess Bride!
What? BARC Dinner-and-a-Movie
When? Thursday, Feb 16, 6:30 pm
Where? Lake Claire Community Center
This Thursday, BARC’s going to have its next Dinner-and-a-Move (the first one this spring)! The idea behind Dinner-and-a-Movie is to provide people with free food and a free moving showing to let people discover the delicious vegan food that is out there to promote kindness to animals in a fun way.
We’ll have different sorts of pasta, including vegan chicken parmesan and eggplant parmesan, sphagetti with vegan meatballs, and more. The movie will be the Princess Bride. If you can help, email copresidents@barcdontbite.org.
If you have an account with Myspace, Facebook, or something similar, please announce it to your friends/groups. We should have an image of the flyer that you can use up on the web site soon. You can copy & paste the contents of this message, if you like.

6. Please Help: Pet Rescue By Judy
Pet Rescue by Judy is in a crisis, and they need help. Because of zoning laws, they’ve been forced to evacuate their kennel. They need foster homes immediately, so if you or anyone you know can provide a place for an animal to stay, call:
Judy @ 407-382-5991 or J.P. @ 386-689-4344
If you have a question about anything, email copresidents@barcdontbite.org, and you should get a relatively prompt response.

Watch Tonight at 6 pm or 11 pm
The media are finally beginning to realize the incredible abuse of animals that goes on behind the scenes in circuses. ARFF, the Animal Rights Foundation of Florida, has been protesting the Ringling Bros circus, and this is probably the reason for a WESH News report on the Ringling Bros circus. Read below for a message from ARFF organizers.
What? WESH Invenstigative Report on Ringling Bros
When? Today, Tuesday, Feb 7 - 6 pm and 11 pm
Where? WESH (NBC), Channel 4 on Brighthouse
Thanks to all of you who came to the meeting! Below is a summary of the meeting, for those who couldn’t make it this week.
Welcome back from break, BARC members! Once everyone gets settled into the beginning of the semester, we will resume meetings. Something to look forward to this month: Radical Rush! Stay tuned via the mailing list and our calendar.
