Greetings!
Remember to join us tonight for our "2nd Saturdays" Monthly Meeting and Vegan  Potluck! These fun, positive events are held each month at The Havens Center in Houston! Our first potluck of the New Year is tonight, January 12, 2013 from 6:00-8:30 PM.
Our friendly gatherings feature a delicious vegan potluck, along with a discussion and either a short film, food demo or speaker presentation. There's something new every month! We'll also highlight various topics, such as: animal rights, ethical vegan living, vegan health, food preparation, eco-friendly living and more. For January, our food theme is "Vegan Winter Soups, Stews and Salads".
The discussion topic tonight is "Living Vegan in the Nation's  Most Diverse City". We are pleased to present the founders of Houston's Stay Diverse, Alexander Ansari and Rocko Narvios, who will speak about their journey to veganism and living a healthy vegan life in the nation's most diverse city. Stay Diverse will also give an encore performance of a special vegan "rap" from last year's VegFest Houston!
Also joining us tonight will be Keli Hawthorne of the Baylor "Veggie Kids Nutritional  Study" -- the only study of its kind in the U.S. being done right here in Houston!
Please remember to bring a vegan entree, side dish or dessert to share at the potluck! Our events are always vegan, so only vegan or raw vegan foods (no animal-derived ingredients). If you have questions on ingredients, feel free to contact us. Help us also keep our events earth-friendly and our costs down by bringing your own reusable dinnerware, plates & cups.
This is a great way to meet up with Vegan Society of P.E.A.C.E. each month! Attendees will also learn about our volunteer opportunities, upcoming events and ongoing outreach, plus our upcoming fundraisers and our 3rd Annual VegFest Houston. For those interested, the fun continues after our monthly event with an informal vegan social mixer at an off-site location.
Please RSVP online to let us know you'll be there. All ages and newcomers are welcome at our "2nd Saturdays" vegan events! We hope you'll invite your friends as well! Doors open at 6:00 PM!
*For our members outside the Houston area and around the globe, we encourage you to join us by hosting a "2nd Saturdays" monthly vegan potluck in your city, or search for vegan gatherings on Meetup.com
