5/9: Potluck and Workshop: Speaking with Friends and Family about Veganism

[Guest guest]

May 9: Potluck and Workshop: Speaking with Friends and Family about Veganism

 

We had a great discussion about this topic last time and will have the

opportunity to interactively explore these questions at the upcoming meetup in a

friendly and supportive environment. Attendance at the last meetup is not

necessary to join in; all are welcome!

 

Would you like to share veganism with your friends, family and coworkers?

Would you like to gain more confidence in answering their questions about

veganism?

Would you like to learn ways to communicate more effectively?

 

One of the great joys about being vegan is sharing veganism with those around

us. This workshop will help us stay positive, focused, and effective as we speak

about the issues that are important to us. You are welcome to participate as

much or as little as you feel comfortable. Family and friends, vegan and

non-vegan, are invited and welcome. This is one of our most popular (and fun!)

meetups; come and find out why!

 

The meetup will be on Saturday, May 9th at 6 PM. We will share a vegan potluck

dinner together at 6 pm and the workshop will begin at 7 pm. All food at the

potluck is to be vegan.

 

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. If you have any

accessibility requests, please send us a note.

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. "

* " Miranda and Victor go out of their way to get to know everyone who shows up.

This meetup is ideal if you're a veg*an who has just moved to the area and you

don't know anyone, or if you just started being a veg*an and you want to meet

others. It's also an opportunity to try out and share recipes. "

* " Good food. Good people. Good discussion. " We look forward to seeing you on

Saturday!
