Jane Velez-Mitchell – award winning television journalist and

of Canada geese in NYC. We welcome her advocacy for NYC’s carriage horses.

Council Member Melissa Mark Viverito, sponsor of Intro 86A, the bill
to phase out the carriage industry by substituting electric cars –

Senate) sponsor of the first ever bill to ban the carriage
industry Intro 658A – are both expected to attend pending their
scheduling availability.

Humane Education in schools around NYC. Joy, whose latest CD “The
Pirate of Eel Pie” was released in 2008, recently opened up for
Chrissie Hynde and sings on the new CD by Sufjan Stevens. She is
someone you will never forget.

Susan Wagner –founder and President of Equine Advocates who will
give a presentation and update on Bobby, the NYC carriage-horse the
Coalition and Equine Advocates rescued from slaughter in June, and
who is now living in freedom at Susan’s beautiful horse
sanctuary. That’s Bobby right here.

Donny Moss — producer and director of the award winning documentary
“Blinders: the Truth Behind the Tradition” and other short
films. He has made a major contribution to this issue.

beautiful sound that evokes the spirit of jazz in the 1940’s.
Eclectic in its tastes and moods, you will hear them playing jazz as
well as Brazilian, other Latin and pop styles with natural ease and
quiet sensitivity.

The party will feature an enticing array of complementary vegan hors
d’oeuvres, desserts and appetizers from some of NYC’s most popular
and delicious vegan restaurants who generously donated their
scrumptious cuisine

— and a cash bar for all drinks.

This event is made possible by the tremendous generosity and
assistance of Traffic Bar, Babycakes NYC, Cafe Blossom, Candle Cafe,
Caravan of Dreams, Counter, Franchia, Loving Hut NYC, Zen Palate and
GonePie Bakery — and all the wonderful volunteers who gave freely of
their time and talents.
