The Vervet Monkey Foundation will be holding an official Re-union on 18th May 2013. Everyone is welcome especially all past, present and future volunteers along with anyone interested in volunteering, learning more about primates, what the VMF does, monkey updates and why the VMF chooses to promote a vegan lifestyle. Free vegan food, guest speakers, live music, raffle and art auction as well as a social party in the evening.
2013 will be the 20th Anniversary of the Vervet Monkey Foundation since established in 1993 and so there's lots to celebrate and many more goals to achieve.
