![]() ![]() A gentleman came up and in a defensive/argumentative manner, asked me many questions about lots of aspects of veganism.A few weeks later she came back and told me how she had found some of that Miyoko’s cheese on sale and she really liked it. I talked a little about dairy and recommended several vegan brands she could try. A woman came up to chat and tell me that she was vegetarian but she could never become vegan because she could never give up cheese.These are just a few of many examples that tell me we do make a difference: Then one summer, I was at the same Farmers Market multiple times, so was able to see and interact with the same people through the summer and see what happened over the course of time. When I first started, I only attended them sporadically and I’d wonder if we were really doing any good. I have been involved in the tabling at the Farmers Markets for several years and have found it to be fun and rewarding. ARC has great materials so it makes it easy to interact with people (even for us introverts). This is a great way to encourage and support an ethical lifestyle and to help educate those who are misinformed. I just wanted to say a few words about tabling and doing outreach at the Farmers Markets and to encourage anyone who has even a remote interest to get involved in these awesome events. We’re excited to have someone with such relevant experience and networking skills on board.Īu revoir, Ashley we love you and miss you already! And welcome, Amy! Great to have you on the ARC team!Ĭomments Off on ARC Volunteer Shares Excitement for Farmers Market Season June 17th, 2021 ![]() ![]() Like Ashley, Amy is well known and well liked in our local community. Amy has leadership experience as the previous president of the Minnesota Homeschooler’s Alliance and the coordinator for their annual conference. Outside of ARC, Amy volunteers for several local sanctuaries, runs the Chicken Rescuers in Minnesota Facebook group, and runs a small chicken microsanctuary. She is currently an ARC vegan mentor and one of our dine-out leaders, and she volunteers regularly for Pay Per View and various ARC special events. Now the sweet: We have hired Amy Leinen as ARC’s new Campaign Manager! Many of you in the animal rights community already know Amy but for those who don’t, Amy has been an active volunteer with ARC for almost 10 years. We are very sad to say farewell to this fierce animal activist, but fear not! Ashley will still be doing online workshops and volunteering for ARC as often as possible. From her tireless work on our Go Humane, Blaine puppy mill campaign to initiating and developing ARC’s newest campaign against animal abuse at the Minnesota State Fair to everything in between, Ashley has been commendably representing ARC at the forefront of the most pressing animal issues in Minnesota. Ashley’s passion for animal rights activism has served ARC well over the last four years. As we come to the close of another productive year for ARC, we have bittersweet news to share with our supporters: Our effervescent and intrepid Campaign Manager, Ashley Riddle, will be leaving her position as of December 24th. ![]()
