Reading the reports on the *AGM 96* in Trogen you will learn that it was a good idea to have it organized as a 4-day meeting. I hope you will join us next time! The main events of the imminent summer are the Olympic Games in Atlanta and, of course, the [IVU Congress](https://ivu.org/hv-congress-main-congress-wvc96-index.html) in Pittsburgh. In connection with the Olympic Games you you may read with interest what the Deputy President of IVU, Prof. Dr. Marcel Hebbelinck said about *Vegetarian Nutrition, Physical Activity and Athletic Performance* in a workshop at the 5th EVU Congress in Bratislava 1995. By the way, if you have news of high level sportswomen or -men, we would be grateful if you could send a documented report to the EVU office as we are collecting all the data. Then I would like to draw your attention to the other articles about [BSE](https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/interviews/5597-news-evu-news962-bse.html) by Dr. Walter Schmidt and a little study about what famous naturalists thought about *Omnivorous or Vegetarian* by the Secretary of the Canarian Vegetarian Assocition Dr. Luis Vallejo Rodriguez. I want to applogize for the incomplete addresses of the *List of Members* in the last EVU News (a joke played by the computer), there will be an updated complete one in the next EVU News. I am glad to say that there is a growing interest in the vegetarian movement which shows in the list of the new members of last year. As I will be attending the IVU Congress in Pittsburgh, I will be absent from the EVU office from July 17th to August 7th. Hoping that you enjoy reading this edition of our newsletter and looking forward to meeting some of you in Pittsburgh. Yours sincerely *Sigrid De Leo* ### Financial help to EVU by giving an extra DM Perhaps you remember the appeal of Heinz Kottkamp, treasurer of EVU, that every single member of the member societies should make a donation of 1 DM a year in order to help EVU financially. The idea was that 1 DM should be paid in addition to the normal fee of the society where the member belongs to and that the society should pay the whole sum into the account of EVU. The Vegetarier Bund Deutschlands and the Schweizer Waerland Bewegung voted in favour of the appeal on their AGMs and our special thanks go to those two societies! A note on this archive. The history section of this website is drawn from a body of legacy content originally compiled by John Davis, former manager of the International Vegetarian Union. It represents his curation of historical material, and in places includes passages written by him directly. Over the years, the IVU website has migrated between several different hosting servers. In the course of these migrations, a number of PDF files were unfortunately lost, and **some links to PDF documents may no longer function**. Where this is the case, we have chosen to leave the original link text in place, as it may itself carry information of historical value. - Hits: 1361 ## Schema ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://ivu.org/hv-news-periodicals-news-evu-index.html?view=article&id=5598:news-evu-news962-editor&catid=233","url":"https://ivu.org/hv-news-periodicals-news-evu-index.html?view=article&id=5598:news-evu-news962-editor&catid=233","name":"Vegetarian News - Editorial from the Secretary","inLanguage":"en","isPartOf":[{"@id":"https://ivu.org/history-of-ivu.html#archive"},{"@id":"https://ivu.org/hv-news-periodicals-news-evu-index.html?view=article&id=5599:news-evu-news962-index&catid=233"}],"publisher":{"@id":"https://ivu.org/#organization"},"description":"Editorial from the Secretary from EVU News, Issue 2 / 1996 Dear Readers and Friends, Thanks to your contributions here again is a voluminous edition of our EVU News."}]} ``` ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "BreadcrumbList", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "Home", "item": "https://ivu.org" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "IVU", "item": "https://ivu.org/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "name": "Resources", "item": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources.html" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "name": "Interviews", "item": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/interviews.html" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 5, "name": "History of the Vegetarian Societies", "item": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/interviews.html" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 6, "name": "news", "item": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/interviews.html" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 7, "name": "evu", "item": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/interviews.html" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 8, "name": "news962", "item": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/interviews.html" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 9, "name": "Vegetarian News - Editorial from the Secretary", "item": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/interviews/5598-news-evu-news962-editor.html" } ] } ``` ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Article", "mainEntityOfPage": { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/interviews/5598-news-evu-news962-editor.html" }, "headline": "Vegetarian News - Editorial from the Secretary", "description": "Vegetarian News - Editorial from the Secretary: Editorial from the Secretary from EVU News, Issue 2 / 1996 Dear Readers and Friends, Thanks to your contributions here again is a voluminous edition of our EVU News.
