About Boston Vegan Meetup Group

For the "wholly herbivorous"

There are several groups for vegetarians and vegans around Boston:
Boston Vegan Association (BVA) supports vegans and vegan wannabes (those vegans-in-the-making who are "on the path") and aggressively engages social and economic institutions around Greater Boston to make Greater Boston "more vegan-friendly" [www.BostonVegan.org]
Boston Vegetarian Society (BVS) meets monthly at Grasshopper [www.BostonVeg.org] and holds monthly socials and periodic events, including the annual Boston Vegetarian Food Festival. Everything is vegan-oriented.
There are animal rights, macrobiotic, yoga, vegan raw foods, and natural health/natural foods groups.
And there are scores of vegetarian general and special interest e-mail lists for vegetarians around Boston, Boston suburbs, Massachusetts, and New England [http://Waste.org/regv... and http://Groups.Yahoo.c...]

But this group has been going for several years, has several hundred members, but a relatively small gathering shows each month (6-20). Your bringing your vegan, vegetarian, and interested friends (and family) makes our gatherings larger and more interesting -- and it makes you more interesting.

We've met each other, oriented the vegan newbies (and the "new-to-Boston" veggies), and helped veg*ans feel comfortable and welcomed in Boston. We find one another months later, in other places (both vegetarian and general), and read about our work and adventures throughout this great city and world. Wow! What a great network. The more we explore our developing network, the more enthusiasm we can have for appreciating our common efforts in life, work, and organizing.

Want some extra events? Let's have them. Want to attend these other vegetarian group events, dinners, food fairs, and outreach as a group, a contingent, a block? Let's do so. Let's become vegetarian and vegan friends.
