The first meeting of the
Lone Star Vegetarian Network (LSVN) took place in early 1989.
There were four major active vegetarian societies back then,
Austin, Houston, San Antonio and the now defunct South Texas
Vegetarian Society (STVS) in Brazoria County, 60 miles south of
Houston.
A lot has changed since
those early days.
Each society joining the LSVN retains their autonomy but agrees to
· Support the Chili Cook-Off by sending at least one chili team from their group to cook.
· Host the Chili Cook-Off at some point in time.
· Furnish a door prize to be given away at the Cook-Off.
· Publicize the Cook-Off to their members and in their locality.
· Only
host events that are vegan (totally vegetarian - no dairy or eggs).
