    I am going to change the meet up place to Whole Foods next time, due to parking and seating constraints at Starbucks. Let's not put a date in yet, please :-)

    What is the goal of these 'meet-ups?' We've been vegan for a while and it would be nice to talk to others who are on the same page instead of those who always ask me,

      Davida, it is mutual support in our quest to eat healthy vegan food. We talk, trouble shoot, recommend cook books, trade recipes, etc.

    I came and did not see anyone. I waited until 2:40 and then I left because there was no where to sit. I waited in my car hoping to see someone familiar. Whole Foods sound like a plan if there is more room available.

    How was the meeting? If we have 10 or more people, perhaps next time we ought to do it at Whole Foods as they have more parking and a bigger seating area?

    Hi there! We have a very similar meetup started that is called Dr. E's Vegan No Oil Diet Cleveland/Akron Ohio. Several of the members have seen Forks Over Knives, including myself. It's actually what inspired me to change my diet in January.

    We have a couple plant-strong meetups scheduled and more in the works! Stop by and see us!

    I wish I had of started many months ago, however, I am happy to be on board today. I have so much more energy and I feel better than I have ever felt in a long time. See you all on Sunday!

    Hello Everyone! Hope you all are doing well with maintaining such a big lifestyle change! It's hard, but with support of family/friends--along with the other 22 forkers on this page, and many more to come--the challenge will not be so daunting. Stay positive and confident in yourself, and your decision to make a change will soon pay off, and you will inspire more to jump on board.

      With 11 people saying they can come at 2:15, I think it should stay a that time, unless more the majority agrees to moving it to 3. I will survive... if you all brief me after.

      Oh... didn't realize. I thought it was generic, like 11 people wanting to go to a meet up eventually... as in the orignal. Are there really 11 of us?

      We are aiming at meeting up once a month, so the next one should be early November, I suppose.

    How's everyone with the 2:15 time on the 9th? It works for me and Gretchen.

    Posted by W Dean Rutland October 3, 2011

    I am working until 2. How does 2:15 work instead of 1?
