7pm - Free event with light refreshments. Lowering Your Cancer Risk through Food Choices, a presentation by George Eisman, MA, Msc, RD. Learn the latest about which foods lower cancer risk and which foods elevate risk, and how to substitute one for the other without risking nutritional deficiencies.

March 19: Hoover's Market Store Tour:
6pm - No meat this month! You might have some questions... What should I be eating instead? Salad? Is there a vegan substitute for my pepperoni pizza? What can I do with this block of tofu? How do I make sure I'm getting all my vitamins? Find out these answers and much more as we take a tour of Hoovers Market, sample some foods, then have Q&A on their patio afterward. Hoovers is a very veg-friendly grocery store located off 436 in Altamonte. Please RSVP by March 17th if possible - the market would like a rough count to have enough food samples prepared. The first 20 RSVPs to jessi@vegcf.org will get a goodie bag at the tour! 1035 Academy Drive, Altamonte Springs, FL 32714
