What weβre about
The purpose of this group is to explore and celebrate being vegan in San Diego. We hope to attract more people to veganism with support, respect, patience and guidance.
We're a unique and dynamic group of positive people who value powerful topics like health and wellness, animal welfare, environmentalism and beyond. Some of us are lifestyle vegans, others may simply be committed to plant-based nutrition. And still others might be leaning towards veganism or vegan-curious. Maybe you're a vegetarian. Maybe you're an omnivore. Well, whatever you label yourself (or don't label yourself), join us and please, spread the word. We are an all-inclusive group.
Finally, please consider making a contribution of any amount to keep our social group up and running! We don't receive any financial support from any businesses and rely 100% on our members' contributions. It costs us $200/year to have our group on MeetUp's platform. Please Venmo us at @lionlover (Lion Lover) - https://venmo.com/u/lionlover - Thanks for your support!
Please complete your introduction and upload a real photo of yourself. The photo must show your face. No distant photos are allowed. This is mandatory. Please note that the approval process is a precautionary measure that we have to take to make sure everybody's having fun in a safe and relaxed environment.
This Meetup group has a "no-flake policy" for both attendees and hosts: if you RSVP and don't show up, you may be removed from the group. So, please keep your RSVP current out of respect for the hosts and especially those attendees on a waitlist. Our hosts take time out of their busy schedules to plan great Meetups for our members. With that being said, come join us. You won't regret it.
Members are welcome to host their very own Meetups within our group.Β Just reach out to Jenna to set something up.
