VegWeek Kick-Off Party A Hit!

After a successful Takoma Park VegWeek in 2009, and then Maryland VegWeek in April 2010, Compassion Over Killing expanded our efforts once again by launching the first ever Los Angeles VegWeek from July 11-17!

The week-long celebration got off to a strong start with a kick-off party featuring several special guests: Assemblymember Ted Lieu and celebrity chef Chloe Coscarelli.

In addition to speaking about why he was pledging to go veg for the week, Asm. Ted Lieu also presented Compassion Over Killing with a Certificate of Appreciation for the sponsorship of Los Angeles VegWeek.

Below are some photos from the kick-off party:
