VEGAN RETIREMENT VILLAGE FORMING



You are considering moving toward a more enriched life with time for your AR work but less busi-ness and "stuff." So what are your options? Retirement home?...assisted living?...senior housing?...moving in with your kids in Duluth? Does this frighten you because you wouldn't fit in? You may be concerned about smelling meat cooking or keeping your beloved companions as you age. So are we.



You are invited to join a group of like-minded friends as we search for a retirement refuge that is free from all forms of animal exploitation. We will live close to nature...wildlife will be respected because most of the land will be left untouched. At Vegan Village we'll have our own homes but will share a veganic garden, animal care, and luscious meals when possible.



Because some of us will still be working or continuing education, we will not be too far from a good sized city.



Instead of a glitzy clubhouse for BINGO games, our gatherings will be in a climate controlled barn! Instead of the annual Luau, ours might be a Turkey Free Thanksgiving open to all.



We envision walking, biking or using electric golf carts instead of cars on the property. Solar, composting, recycling, native vegetation, use of reclaimed water and earth friendly building will be encouraged.



And most important, this all in a warm to moderate climate. By a river or lake??



Bring your ideas to the next planning meeting which will be at the Action for Animals Symposium in Orlando Florida on January 26-28th, 2007. Call Zia for more information or to RSVP for the meeting. 352-256-0169 or 352-375-7207 or email to vegan.mania@cox.net to be added to e-mailing list.

My only problem with it is that it appears to be in Florida. I hate Florida, too hot and too many bugs. I'd prefer somewhere near Canada.

There used to be advertisements for vegan villages in New Leaves magazine. I don't know what became of the ideas. Those advertisements don't appear now. They would have been rather commune-y. Not my cup of tea, but a good idea.

I sometimes daydream about doing something similar to the property my Dad owns in Petaluma. Its big enough to be divided into four lots, and though the idea of commune living doesn't appeal to me either, it would be nice to build some bungalows there, and invite vegans to live in them.
