October FRIDAY Potluck & Speaker - "Plant-Based: More than Just Nutrition"

NOTE: Our October potluck will take place on the 4th Friday, October 27. Gather at 6:00 pm, eat at 6:30 pm.
Join us for great food and conversation with your fellow vegans at our monthly potluck! For those who are new to veganism, welcome! Our monthly gathering is a great opportunity to get to know others in the group and sample lots of delicious vegan food!

This month's theme: "Plant-Based: More than Just Nutrition"
Kathy Pollard, author of the new book "Eating Does It," will talk about the enormous benefits of eating well (a whole food plant-based diet). This is the most effective action any person can take to address the world’s biggest problems. She is a clinical nutritionist who works for American College of Lifestyle Medicine as research projects manager. The ACLM, by the way, is having a conference in the Denver area in October, which is how we were able to book her as a speaker!
(Having our potluck on Friday also allows our members to attend the Reducetarian 2023 Summit on Saturday and Sunday at the Westin Hotel in downtown Denver.)

A whole food plant-based diet combats both climate change and rampant chronic diseases, including obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and some cancers, without having to wait for big policy changes, international cooperation, or costly drugs or medical procedures—and it’s free. This healthy diet emits the least greenhouse gases, uses the least amount of our limited resources, and is our most accessible tool to heal and maintain health, inside and out.

What to Bring:
• A vegan dish to serve at least 8 people, with a recipe card or list of ingredients. (All vegan please: no meat, bacon, eggs, poultry, fish, dairy or honey). If you do not know what to bring, please contact Denver Vegans leadership.
• Your own utensils and reusable place setting
• $3.00 cash fee to help pay for our rental space.
(There will be an option to pay via PayPal for those who don't carry cash).
Rocky Mountain Miracle Center is convenient by car from I-25, as well as accessible by RTD bus (Route #40) and light rail (Colorado Blvd. station).

We hope to see you there!
