Introduction

Hello! My name is Jenna! I am going to be spending some time in Chicago interning with the awesome non-profit, Mercy For Animals! I would love to meet and hang out with other vegans while I am here :)

How did you hear about the group? (a friend, Facebook, an invite, Meetup search, etc.)

I asked the outreach coordinator for MFA, Mikael Nielsen, if there was a vegan meetup group here, as I am a part of the Minneapolis group and have had a lot of success with it!

What's your favorite pastime?

Being outside, swimming, running, going to the gym, thrifting, listening to music and going to local shows, reading, activism, leafleting....discovering new vegan foods... :)

What book would you recommend to your friends?

Eating Animals, Committed, Operation Bite Back, Into the Wild, The Purity Myth, Free the Animals...sorry that's not one book...

If you will win 10 million dollars, what would you do?

Pay off my student loans, then volunteer full-time and donate lots to my favorite charities :)

Do you use Twitter or Facebook? Please follow us @Chicago_Veg or Facebook.com/ChicagoVeg

Yes, I do- okay!

Jenna,
This is SeanScott the budding watercolorist. I have no work that is accomplished that I have done. I am still doing studies and emotional pieces. But thanks for the ego boost. I could offer a free piano tuning to sell if you are having a silent auction. I am a very good piano tuner. www.seanscotpiano.com

Welcome to ChicagoVeg – Chicagoland Vegetarian, Vegan, Raw Foodist Community.

ChicagoVeg is the largest Chicagoland community for vegetarians, vegans, and raw foodists to socialize and meet like-minded people. We organize a range of fun activities and educational events in the city and the suburbs. Whether you are vegan or not vegan, we welcome everyone who is interested in a vegan/vegetarian/raw lifestyle for any reason - ethical, environmental, health, or spiritual. We support a nonjudgmental community where everyone can feel welcome to express their opinions, socialize, and have fun! Some of the fun activities include the following: exchanging vegan recipes (raw and not raw), vegan food potlucks, dining out at local vegetarian/vegan/raw restaurants, lectures pertaining to the vegetarian/vegan/raw lifestyle, and outreach events that promote a vegan lifestyle. We see the importance of educating others about advantages of a vegan/vegetarian lifestyle, and we believe that a supportive community is vitally important to sustain a vegan/vegetarian culture.

Join us for delicious (raw food/vegan/vegetarian) meals, share your favorite recipes, discuss living a healthy (vegetarian - vegan - raw food) lifestyle, support green/eco living, and make new friends!

Everyone is welcome, from the vegetarian/vegan/raw food-curious to the 100% vegetarian/vegan/vegan raw foodists.

In addition to our monthly events, ChicagoVeg is also one of the lead organizers of the very first Chicago Veggie Pride Parade. The goal of the parade is "Celebrating the Vegan/Vegetarian Lifestyle!" Featuring guest speakers, a costume contest, and tons of fun, the Chicago Veggie Pride Parade (CVPP) is a wonderful all-encompassing event to support local vegans and vegetarians, as well as to raise awareness in the general public about the benefits of a plant-based diet. We encourage everyone, vegans or not vegans, to come and walk, socialize, learn, and of course celebrate the Vegan/Vegetarian lifestyle with us! For more info about this annual event please visit Chicago.VeggiePride.com
