I want to thank Balsam Bagels for giving us vegan cream cheese and dozens of bagels the morning of VegFest.  They were most welcome to the many volunteers who came very early to help set up.  Thanks to Mike Q for picking them up!  The gift certificate they also donated was a big hit in the raffle.  I hope everyone has seen their new vegan menu.  Thanks to Mary for encouraging them to do that; they told her it had really increased their business.
