Welcome to the Vegetarian Society

of East Tennessee


We look forward to posting information and resources here that will not only be helpful to you, but will also provide a place for us to share a sense of community. Please come back often for updates and new events added to our events and calendar page.


The Society was founded in 1983 as a non-profit, educational organization dedicated to promoting vegetarianism in Knoxville and the region. Our goal is to provide information about the many positive aspects of vegetarianism, including those of health, nutrition, animal welfare, the alleviation of world hunger, and the preservation of a natural environment. We welcome anyone seeking a healthier and more compassionate lifestyle.


The Society is open to vegetarians and non-vegetarians who are interested in learning how to reduce their meat consumption. Within our organization there are people with varied dietary beliefs, from the prospective vegetarians to those following a total plant based diet. (Vegan)


We encourage you to become a member and associate with others of like mind. Please check our calendar and join us for one or all events.


If you have questions not addressed on this website, please give us a call:

Upcoming Events, 2013

WANTED: VEGGIE VOLUNTEERS. It takes a lot of help to put on a monthly cooking school and potluck. We need people to be in charge of setting up drinks, checking for food labels, washing dishes, and sweeping the floor after each meal. Worker memberships for those who can commit to a year's worth of service are available for $1. If you can help once or every "first Sunday", let potluck coordinator Bob Grimac know (bobgrimac@gmail.com, or 546-5643). We need you!







    


Our 30th anniversary as an organization is fast approaching, so look for details soon about the August "Subcontinental Celebration". We hope to have a Sri Lankan cooking class, an Indian dinner, and a concert of north Indian classical music --- all of which will hopefully raise funds for VSET as we enter our fourth decade of advocacy. We'll be looking for lots of help to make all of this happen, so please stay tuned.

---- Gracias, Bob Grimac, VSET President, tel. 546-5643
