Are you curious about veganism and want to learn more?

Are you new to veganism and want to join a community of like-minded

people?

Are you a long time vegan and want to get more involved?

 

Happy new year! For our first meetup of 2009, we are offering a talk

titled, " A New Look at Veganism, " where we will share some refreshing

new ideas about veganism drawn from our years of activist experience,

followed by a group discussion. Whether you are thinking about veganism,

a new vegan, or a long-time vegan, this thought-provoking talk has

something for you! Family and friends, vegan and non-vegan, are invited

and welcome.

 

We will share a vegan potluck dinner together on Sunday, January 25th at

5:30 pm and the the talk and discussion will begin at 6:30 pm. To try to

reach our friends who have not been able to attend the Saturday meetups,

we will be meeting this time on Sunday. Come join us!

 

We strongly believe veganism should be accessible to all. African

Americans, Latinas/Latinos, Native Americans, Asians, Asian Americans --

all those who make up our vibrant community are invited and welcome to

all events.

What people have been saying about the meetings:

 

* " This is the best meetup group ever! If you are vegan or vegetarian

or remotely interested in being veg*n, you should be here. It's a group

of people who are totally friendly, interesting, and fun to talk to. ...

I was a little hesitant to attend this meetup at first, because I can be

kind of shy, but I am really glad I did. It's a totally supportive

atmosphere where you can discuss and explore what being a veg*n means to

you. The people are great!! It's a perfect place to find a community of

like-minded people. Miranda and Victor are awesome hosts and make

everyone feel really welcome. "

* " Great way to share ideas and ways to talk to others about the

benefits of being vegan, while meeting new people over some wonderful

food. I plan on attending this every month. "

* " Good food. Good people. Good discussion. " We had a lot of fun

playing the improv games with you all all last month. Thank you for your

engagement and participation and a special thank you, Alex, for leading

us through the games. We look forward to seeing you on the 25th!
