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. If you want to be a pod leader\, please write to wendy@vsdc.org and let us know what you have in mind. \n**VSDC: More than a Meetup**\nWe are glad you are part of The Veg Society of DC Vegan Meetup group and enjoy seeing you at our events. Did you know that [VSDC](https://vsdc.org/) is a nonprofit organization with membership benefits? \nWith VSDC membership\, you will save money at area restaurants and businesses\, attend VSDC member-only events\, and\, most importantly\, support us as a clear and consistent voice for improving the lives of all beings through community building and education centered on the benefits of a vegan diet and lifestyle. \nThe membership fee is minimal\, but the impact is significant!
