Shrinking Violets members, Crystal Clark and Leah Preston organize a local group called the Spokane Vegans. You may have seen the Spokane Vegans around town this past summer selling baked goods to benefit various causes.  Besides, Leah and Crystal, there are always a few other Violets in attendance at their events. The great thing about this group, just like the Violets, is that it is not exclusive. Anyone and everyone is welcome at their events, regardless of food philosophies.

Although the Spokane Vegans are well-known for their baked goods, they’re taking things in a more savory direction this fall. On November 16th they are bringing best-selling cookbook author, Sarah Kramer to Spokane. The Spokane Vegans have organized a seasonal four course vegan meal to benefit the Violets’ favorite organic cafe, One World Spokane and Sarah Kramer will be there to sign books and talk a little about veganism. The night is set to be filled with good food and lots of fun. Flip through any one of Kramer’s books or take a peak at her website, govegan.net and you’ll see what we mean. This Canadian vegan is all about fun and good food (and maybe shoes). In fact, we’re sure that if Sarah Kramer lived in Spokane, she’d already be a Violet.

Ladies Who Lunch-November

Happy November Violets! The invite for the November “Ladies Who Lunch” is finally up on our FB page. Just a reminder that the November planning party will be held at One World following the lunch. A few of the things on the agenda include: creating a mission statement (makin’ things more official), ideas for a retreat in December to hash out the mission statement as well as planning for an annual event in January to celebrate our one year anniversary! My, my how time flies! Can you believe it’s been a year?

Looking forward to seeing some familiar and new faces on Nov. 14th. coffee2

See you there!
