On Dec. 14 at 5 p.m., the North Connecticut Vegetarian Society potluck will have Zaac Chaves as the speaker. He is an uber-environmentalist known for his long-distance biking, freegan antics, wild mushroom knowledge, couch surfing and home-made tire shoes. He has bicycled down to Florida and up to Canada. Chaves will be discussing long distance riding on a vegan diet, and how it not only relates to other cruelty-free practices (such as those strategies outlined on freegan.info), but how these are all encompassing a single practice of both a cruelty-free and fulfilling lifestyle. This will be a discussion style presentation for all willing attendees to contribute to. Bring a healthy vegan dish to share along with a note card listing the ingredients and your name. Also, bring your place setting (plate, cup and utensils). A donation of $5 per adult is requested. Children are free. For more information, call Harry at (860) 623-8082 or e-mail at veggyharry@aol.com. Carniglia Senior Center, 41 Oak St., Windsor Locks, Conn., is the location for this event.
