Hello Randall,
We at the MIT Vegetarian Support Group are thrilled with your interest in the
upcoming Food Fest! Your products are exactly of the type we hope to see
featured at our festival. We are currently drafting vendor information
packets, and will forward one to you as soon as possible.
With regard to future projects: The MIT Vegetarian Support Group is an active
group of students who take on various projects each semester. For this March
20, we are planning our second large observance of the "Great American
Meatout!" We hope to produce one or two large informational/educational
booths on campus, screen the "Diet for a New America" video, offer many more
healthy meatless entrees on campus, and sponsor a free vegetarian dinner in
our auditorium.
VSG would love to have Fantastic Foods be a sponsor of our Meatout
celebration/observance. In particular, we would like to provide free
vegetarian (vegan) food samples to the general public at our booths. If this
sounds like a project you would like to participate in, please contact VSG at
vsg-officers@mit.edu, or call me at 617 497-8763.
Thank you for your interest, and I look forward to working with you.
Matthew Krom
