are usually on macrobiotic or other health related topics, by a

variety of speakers including macrobiotic counselors, medical doctors,

diseases using macrobiotic or similar approaches. Other events have

included performances by folk singers and vegetarian Chinese acrobats.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND: all are welcome at our Dinners, vegetarian or not.

The Dinners are particularly helpful for those who want to eat in

healthy ways, but may not know how to get started. Many who attend may

have the same health concerns you have. Also, choosing locally grown,

vegetarian foods is one of the best ways to reduce your carbon

footprint on the planet.

 

Dinner attendance ranges from 40 to 100, with a full spectrum of ages

spanning newborns to grandparents, including quite a few interesting

singles. Come with a friend or by yourself; singles easily integrate

into our friendly group, where seating is communal. Many long-term

friendships have started at a Monday Dinner, and are renewed every week!

 

 

We hope to see you at a Monday Dinner! Please forward this message to

friends who may be interested.
