Recently my friend Joe Maneiro had a conversation with someone who decided to go vegan after seeing Forks Over Knives (which btw, is great) and his biggest struggle about being vegan was not knowing a lot of vegan people. I certainly don't know all the vegan/vegetarian folk in our fine city.

We want this to serve as a little community. We're not planning on a retreat, swapping wives, taking cyanide or anything like that. Let's just hang out, eat some food, talk and get to know our animal friendly community.

I know this day/time won't work for everyone but it's a starting point. If you're super interested and can't come to this let me know a better time for you so we can try to get everyone's voice and figure it out.

The place we're meeting is technically a "church" but this is absolutely not affiliated with the church. I happen to go there and requested use of the space and was given the go-ahead.

For the food, bring a little folded note card labeling what you made. I'd say strive to make it vegan but if you absolutely can't that's okay for sure. If you're concerned about cooking something: http://howtobakeapotato.com/

Building is located behind the Backyard Burger on Broadway and has the word EIKON in green lettering on the front.

Other than that, bring your friends, bring people interested in going vegan/vegetarian and invite someone I missed on the Facebook invite. Also, if something monthly like this already exists, tell us about it!
