VSDC Book Club discusses “The Last Animal” (online)
Online event
Please join the Veg Society of DC Book Club discussion of “The Last Animal” by Ramona Ausubel. This meeting will take place online, via zoom.
“Vera and Eve, were 11 and 14 when their father plunged to his death … As the novel opens, a year later, their mom has dragged them to Siberia, where scientists are searching for woolly mammoth bones in service of a theory that bringing back certain extinct species could help reverse climate change.” — Kirkus Reviews starred review
To participate you must read at least half the book — and RSVP at least two days before the meeting. People who RSVP yes will get the details to join the discussion (the weekend before the meeting). The details will not be posted on meetup.
The VSDC Book Club began meeting online in March 2020 (previously we met in vegetarian restaurants in DC or nearby Maryland or Virginia). We read fiction and nonfiction in alternating months, about any topic. For more information (including everything we have read over 30+ years!) visit: [https://vsdc.org/Book-Club](https://vsdc.org/Book-Club)

Plant-Based Garden Feast
2025-05-02 18:00 - 20:30, 2025-05-03 18:00 - 20:30 (America/Chicago) | NV
Celebrate the healthy goodness of plant-centered cuisine with this from-scratch four-course meal.
In this hands-on cooking class with Chef Laura, you’ll use high-quality ingredients as you learn how to craft a handful of plant-based recipes that are just as delectable as they are healthy.
Begin with a spicy carrot hummus infused with chipotle peppers and tahini and served with artisan crackers, and a fresh arugula salad featuring pears and toasted walnuts. For the main course, you’ll prepare herb-packed chimichurri cauliflower steak served with roasted tomatoes and quinoa. And because dessert can also be healthy, you’ll whip up a silken chocolate mousse.
Guests are welcome to bring wine and beer to enjoy during the class.

VSDC Vegan Sketchers Visit to the U.S. National Arboretum
National Grove of State Trees, National Arboretum, 2400 R Street NE, Washington, dc, 20002, United States
Come sketch with us at the U.S. National Arboretum! We’ll spend the first hour and a half walking through some of the gardens, gathering inspiration. Then we’ll head over to the National Capitol Columns grounds to find a shady spot to sit and sketch what we’ve seen.
You’ll need to bring your own art materials such as a sketchbook, pencil(s), pen(s), small watercolor set, brushes, water, etc. Sadly, there are very few picnic tables positioned in the shade in the Arboretum, so bring a packable camp chair and/or a blanket. Whatever will make you most comfortable sitting for the remainder of the event. Also, feel free to bring a picnic lunch as there are no food concessions in the park.
All skill levels are encouraged to attend, whether you’re a sketching newbie or a seasoned artist. I guarantee we all have something to learn from each other!
Dogs are welcome at the US Arboretum, but are required to be leashed at all times.
Bathroom Facilities/Water: Restroom facilities and a water fountain are available at the R Street entrance.
Weather: This event will be canceled if rain or strong winds are forecast.
