our Mission. On the Third Sunday of the month
(except December), we sponsor an Educational

Dinner, both held at Grasshopper Vegetarian
Restaurant in Boston. On the First Wednesday of
each month, we sponsor a Dining Out social, where
we get together to try out vegetarian and
vegetarian-friendly restaurants in the area, and
share information informally. Each month we have
one or more additional Special Events, including: a
series of Vegan Cooking Classes and Food Tastings;
holiday events (Thanksgiving, New Year's
Day, Valentine's Banquets, etc.); our annual
June outing with potluck and speaker at the Peace
Abbey in Sherborn; organize special seminar
events for national speakers and authors; outdoor
activities such as our Beach Walk on the North
Shore; We occasionally join with other like-minded
groups to co-sponsor events. We are the organizers
of the Boston Vegetarian Food Festival each fall.
Attracting thousands of attendees, it has grown to
be one of the premier outreach and educational
events for vegetarianism in the world." See the

Cambridge, MA 02238-1068. 781-322-3921. The Greater
Boston Vegetarian Resource Library was created to
provide educational resource materials to inspire
and assist in the adaptation of a vegetarian
lifestyle. It is our intention to promote reverence
and respect for all living beings through
vegetarianism. The Resource Library has its roots
in the steady pacifist evolution of The Strawberry
Fields Alternative High School. Now sharing the
grounds of The Pacifist Memorial and Veganpeace
Animal Sanctuary, the Resource Library is a welcome
addition for those who seek guidance, inspiration,
and support on the journey to cruelty-free living.
Maynard Clark who started the Boston Vegetarian
Society in 1986, generously donated most of the
educational resources to create the Resource
Library at The Peace Abbey. The Greater Boston
Vegetarian Resource Library contains a wealth of
inspiring, compelling, and fascinating books,
periodicals, newsletters, audio and video tapes. A
myriad of diverse and tantalizing cookbooks abound,
with a copy machine available to sample recipes.
Relevent messages adorn t-shirts, bumper stickers,
mugs, and totebags which are displayed for viewing,
and possible purchase. The Library also plans to
offer vegetarian cooking classes.   Back
