SUMMARY:VSDC Veganuary Celebration For Those Interested in Exploring a Plant-Based Diet
DESCRIPTION:**This is not our usual Rooted3 dinner; instead\, it is a discussion group about becoming vegan.** If you want to enjoy our monthly dinner gathering at Rooted3\, [please join us in February](https://www.meetup.com/vegan-dc-md-va/events/305148392/?isFirstPublish=true). *If you are vegan or aspiring\, please share this event with friends or family who might be interested.* \nHave you considered reducing or eliminating animal products from your diet out of concern for the impact of animal agriculture on the climate\, your health\, or the animals? Would you like to explore the challenges and benefits in a friendly and nonjudgmental way? \nJanuary is a great time to make a change! We invite you to embrace [Veganuary](https://veganuary.com/en-us/) and try a vegan lifestyle for a day\, a week\, or all month! \nJoin two Veg Society of DC members who will share their paths to veganism and offer strategies and resources they found helpful on their journey. You will come away with tips on how to make simple changes to your diet. \nPlease join us for a vegan dinner and to explore your questions. [Check out the menu](www.rooted3.com). \nThis is intended to be an informal small group conversation. Depending on the level of interest\, additional dates will be scheduled. \n**Our Facilitators** \nJill\, a lifelong omnivore\, transitioned to plant-based eating around 2018 with the encouragement of her then college-age son. Jill loves to cook and was initially worried that a vegan diet would be a culinary hardship. Far from finding it to be a diet of deprivation\, Jill experienced the shift to plant-based meals as a revelation and a source of deep satisfaction and great food; she is looking forward to sharing her journey of discovery and the tips she learned along the way with you. \nAfter many years as a vegetarian\, Wendy transitioned to a vegan lifestyle in 2021. She has seen dramatic improvements in her health and is delighted to honor her love of animals and concern for the planet with her diet and lifestyle choices. She completed a plant-based nutrition certificate from the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies. She serves as a Healthy Community Leader with the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine Action Network and a Board Member for the Veg Society of DC. \n**Resources To Get You Started**\n[21 Day Kickstart](https://www.pcrm.org/vegankickstart)\n[31 Day Challenge](https://veganuary.com/en-us) \n**Update Your RSVP**\nOut of respect for the restaurant and others interested in attending this limited-space event\, please update your RSVP promptly as your schedule changes. \n**Transportation**\nThe restaurant is within walking distance from the Bethesda Metro stop on the Red Line.

SUMMARY:VSDC Women’s Monthly Weekday Evening Potluck Kickoff Meeting in Bethesda
DESCRIPTION:The Veg Society of DC is launching a new program based on member feedback. **To participate\, note the next steps below.** \nWe are organizing **a group of women to meet monthly for a potluck dinner at group members’ homes**. Each month\, the pod will enjoy a meal together and discuss the challenges and joys of a vegan lifestyle. We will share resources and develop meaningful relationships and a support system to navigate the challenges of veganism and life. The pod will provide connections\, new friendships\, and mutual support. The pod is intended to be a place to share and learn from each other. \n**This is for you if you:** \n* Want to develop meaningful friendships with other vegan and vegan-aspiring women.\n* Will commit to a monthly meeting on a weekday evening for one year. Of course\, we know you might miss one or two meetings over the year for travel or work commitments.\n* Will prepare (or purchase) a vegan dish for each meeting and share the recipe.\n* Will consider hosting a meeting at your residence. **We recognize this may not be possible for all group participants.**\n* Live within seven miles of downtown Bethesda. We are limiting it geographically to reflect the realities of rush-hour travel.\n* Are or are willing to become a VSDC member—just $25 a year or less for seniors\, students\, and low-income individuals – by October 1. The pods are a member benefit. \n**Next steps** \n1. **[Complete the Pod Participant Form](https://forms.gle/fNx3fqL8mUMiv7Pu8)**.\n2. Attend the initial planning meeting on September 10 at Rooted3. We will get to know one another at this meeting\, discuss our hopes for the group\, and set a meeting schedule.\n3. Join VSDC at http://www.vedc.org before October 1! \n**Are you interested in joining a Pod\, but is this Pod not a match?**\nVSDC will launch pods in other locations and for other constituencies if we have a leader for the group.
