Vegetarian Presentation - Brief Article

VRG Co-coordinator Debra Wasserman and Nutrition Advisor Suzanne Havala presented a day-long cooking demonstration and lecture to a community group of more than 100 people in Cumberland, Maryland (a generally conservative rural area). The event was sponsored by Allegheny College and the area's dietetic caucus.

While several dietitians, physicians, and other health professionals were in attendance, the overwhelming majority of participants represented the general public who were interested in learning how to prepare meatless meals and understanding the fundamentals of vegetarian nutrition. The Cumberland Times-News featured a story and photo the next day, noting that attendance far exceeded event planners' expectations.
