I'm in Rock Hill! Any plans for a meetup around here anytime soon?

I know there aren't many of us but I wanted to just say hey!! I'm a newbie from Sumter!

There definitely aren't many of us around and the area I'm in is not veg-friendly, at all.

I'm not from SC but I visit there a lot since my cousin has a condo in Murrells Inlet near Myrtle Beach. Can I be an honorary SC member?

I have family in Sumter.

I'm not in South Carolina - but in NC. I just wanted to post because I recently started an online community for us all. to sum it up the way I did in the NC thread:

After much searching of the internet looking for a site that catered to animal rights activism in North and South Carolina I came up empty handed. There were sites for tiny towns in Ohio, but nothing in the Carolinas other than sites specifically for groups on college campuses. Because of that, I decided to make a forum to cater to those of us who live in these two states. I would love if you all who are into animal rights activism, or even just veg*n (there are forums there for that) to join us over there and help us start connecting with others. The site is http://aracarolina.conforums.com

For now the site is just on a remotely hosted free webforum. I will upgrade to a paid host for a site/forum whenever I 1)have more cash and 2)see a need for it. For now, the free one is just fine

. Please don't be put off by the site being *new* and therefore somewhat empty. The people who have joined up so far are super nice and I would love to see more membership and more local connecting there. So if you're interested check it out, and if you like it...pass it on to friends who are in the Carolinas and fit the criteria as well.

Oh and we also have a myspace page at http://www.myspace.com/aracarolina

Yay!

Actually, I don't really like it here...but WOW the low cost of living!!!!!

I'm a short little 26 yr old Irish woman living in the ghetto-fied area between N. Main Street and Monticello Rd. Yay me! (sarcasm)

Hooray for Kroger's for carrying Vegan foodstuffs, and for being on my way home from work!!!! (there are other places in Columbia, but they're too far out of my way)

But, there apparently aren't many people like us who shop there, and you REALLY have to watch the expiration dates. I accidentally bought some expired Tempeh that I'll be returning.

Ah, Columbia. I sometimes miss it. I was born there and moved when I was 10. I've been in Aiken ever since. The only times I've been back where for the State Museum and a couple times at the zoo years back.

I think this is the first time I have ever posted on a board... I was just in the neighborhood and found this site. I live in Columbia, SC- and almost always have. I know lots of vegetarians- mostly of the family variety (moms, dads, and kids)- we're here. Even a vegan or two. It's not a super vegan friendly place but you can get by in a lot of the foreign restaurants (Indian, Middle Eastern, East Asian). Just plain vegetarian is easy to do most places here. Rosewood market is a great grocery store/deli- nice place to check out if you're in the neighborhood- you can google it for more info. We do most of our shopping there. Anyway- there's a good group of people here.

Hi!!!!!!

Do you mean first time posting on a vegetarian board? Or boards in general?

I'll warn you...they're addictive!!!

My fav thread: http://www.veggieboards.com/boards/s...ad.php?t=50491

 

[alleycat]

first time ever at all on any board. have read them before but posting seemed like so much more work. i don't really have time to get addicted to anything with three kids five and under.

[sleepydvdr]

I live in Rock Hill. I still have a house in Charlotte, NC. So, I'm back and forth.

Any veggie meetups near me anytime soon?

Now that each state has its own forum I'll be closing the state threads. Please continue any discussion by starting a new thread in this forum. Thanks!
