VEGAN MASTERY PROGRAM - Enrollment Starts Description: Tomorrow, Wednesday June 23 at 1:00 pm PST, open enrollment begins for The Vegan Mastery Program for one week only through June 29. This is the only time that registration will be available for the next nine months. This is a great learning opportunity you can have from the comfort of home. I've been enrolled in The Vegan Mastery Program as a paid student since last September and found the information to be invaluable, even after 40 years as a vegetarian and almost 30 years as a vegan cooking teacher! Created by The Vegetarian Health Institute, it is a series of 50 lessons that will show you how to thrive on a vegan or vegetarian diet. For 1 penny, you can experience the course for two weeks and cancel if you choose to....but you will want to continue! This is for your health and you are well worth the modest cost of the program. If you are one of the first 200 people to sign up when enrollment opens tomorrow on WEDNESDAY, JUNE 23 AT 1:00 P.M, Pacific Time, you will also get the early bird bonus package (lots of extra info and recipes). This is what I did when I first registered. By the way, I signed up for the gold plan which included unlimited questions and answers, which I think was worth the small difference in cost. http://www.abbeysvegetarianrecipes.com/cmd.php?af=1196185 P.S. I have arranged for you to get a "Vegan Holiday Recipe Collection" when you subscribe. Type in the word "LENORE" when you're prompted for a Promo Code. If you have any questions about it after you review the link, I would be happy to discuss my experience with you.
