Thank you for your interest in organizing a speaking engagement on the 2007 Veg Speaking Tour. If you have not hosted a lecture like this before, we would like to offer some tips on planning a successful event.

• When choosing a time for the event, think about what hours most people are available. Evenings and during the day on weekends are generally the most convenient times for people. If the lecture is part of a larger event, be sure to allow time for people to take a break or eat a meal.
  
• If the lecture is open to the public, try to choose a venue that is known and accessible to most people in the community.
  
• Post flyers (which we can provide) around town. Markets, coffee shops, community bulletin boards and college campuses are good places to advertise. Be sure to seek permission to hang flyers or they may be taken down soon after you post them!
  
• Get in touch with animal protection groups, vegetarian groups, and environmental groups in the area so that they can alert their members to the event.
  
• Try to finalize the details as early as possible. Farm Sanctuary cannot assist in promoting the event until we have the date, time, venue, and contact information.

If you have any questions, please call 607-583-2225 x269 or email mrice@farmsanctuary.org. Thank you!
