Is it cold enough for you? Brrrr! But it's also February and love is in the air (or so every TV ad is indicating). And what better way to celebrate than with a special chocolate-themed SCVS meeting. The February SCVS meeting will be on Sunday, February 18th, 2007 at 4:00pm. 

This meeting will once again be at Edge of the Woods, a natural foods grocery at 379 Whalley Ave in New Haven.  Click here for directions to the meeting.

As usual we'll be having a potluck meal, and Diane Wagemann, owner of Divine Treasures, an organic belgium chocolate shop in Manchester will be joining us. "Manchester?" I hear you say, "That's hardly in SOUTHERN Connecticut." Well, when it comes to the motherload of vegan chocolates, nothing is too far! Diane's creations are out of this world and she has promised to bring samples. We've asked her to talk about opening her shop, vegan chocolate making, and... lets be honest, we want the samples :-) Here's a photo to get you hungry. Divine Treasures is at 404 Middle Turnpike West, in the Parkade Plaza in Manchester. You can reach them at (860) 643-2552. 

For the potluck, please bring a dish serving 4-6. All dishes at our potlucks must be vegan (all vegetarian, of course, with no dairy, eggs or honey please) so as to be enjoyed by the largest group of members. Please bring a slip of paper with the ingredients to help anyone with allergies or food sensitivities. Remember to bring a serving spoon as well. You can be creative! Lets show Diane our own chocolate creations. And not just desserts! Mochas, Moles and more! Come and socialize with vegetarians from throughout our area.

A followup reminder message will be sent out during the week before. 

Take care,

Joshua
