Vegan Long Island!

...where vegans feel at home,

and the not(yet)-vegan is warmly welcomed.

Whether you've been following a vegan diet for many years,

for a few days,

or you're just starting to think about it...

we invite you to join us for fun, food, community & outreach!

Do you wonder why more & more people are going vegan? I wrote this letter just for you.*

Here's more information about the meetup group, and how to use it.

And to help make our gatherings enjoyable for everyone, please read "To ensure harmonious meetups."

Thank you! :)

*If you'd rather just watch a great short video, check this out (it's very gentle, contains almost no images of animal abuse or slaughter): A Life Connected.
