With empathy and imagination, they’re bringing architectural design to the world of animal care and providing a blueprint for a compassionate, sustainable future. From goats who thrive in vertical spaces to chickens whose house opens with the sun, these customized homes show farm animals in a new light. When they build an ingenious new home for rescued cows, this moving documentary reveals a groundbreaking vision for how we can see and care for the animals most people overlook. Through gorgeous visuals and endearing characters, *Forever Home* invites us to reimagine our relationship with farm animals by showing us who they really are when they're given the chance to simply be themselves. This unique film is a celebration of life and creativity! **Update Your RSVP** Out of respect for others interested in attending this limited-space event, please update your RSVP promptly as your schedule changes. **VSDC: More Than A Meetup** We are delighted to have you as part of The Veg Society of DC Vegan Meetup group, and we look forward to seeing you at our events.

Lupo Verde Osteria presents authentic, rustic, Italian fare featuring a variety of small plates, house-made charcuteries, breads, cheeses and antipasti. Six house-made pastas, and six entrée selections including whole roasted fish and a premiere selection of meats. We will enjoy their bottomless brunch offering, with a 3 oz pour of a 2017 Ruinart Singulier and the 2018 Ruinart Singulier. The ticket price is inclusive of the food, Champagne, tax, tip, etc. You will be able to add anything else you desire on your own tab. Champagne Ruinart was one of the first champagne houses, established in 1729. It takes its name from the Benedictine monk Dom Ruinart, whose writings on Champagne were passed down through his family and resulted in the Maison Ruinart we know today. Dom Ruinart was born in Champagne in 1657, and died in 1709. He moved from his home to an abbey just outside of Paris, where he began to learn about the "wine with bubbles", which was very popular among the young aristocrats of the time. He believed it could be made best on the soils of his hometown. Upon his death in 1709, he left many books containing his writings on this to his nephew Nicolas Ruinart and, 20 years later, Maison Ruinart was founded. The Ruinart house was passed through the family for the next two centuries, during which time they were the first to ship rosé Champagne, as well as being the first to ship their bottles in wooden cases. From humble beginnings, the house now produces almost 2 million bottles a year and is currently owned by luxury brand superpower LVMH. The 2017 Singulier is only available at the Ruinart property in champagne, France. The cost of the event is $125 and all guests must prepay to reserve their seat. Once paid, no refunds will be given but you can have somebody else come in your place.

Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA
