Come to meet new friends and get a wide variety of delicious vegan food.

For our program, former Northwest VEG President Peter Spendelow will be presenting information on what animals think and feel. New research is helping overturn the views of past scientists that animals are ruled entirely by instinct, that fish do not feel pain or cannot remember past events, and that humans are the only species that can reason. Peter has a Doctorate in Zoology specializing in Evolutionary Ecology. Come at 5 for the potluck, at 6:15 for that presentation about animal consciousness, or both.

If you come for the potluck, please bring a plant-based (no meat, dairy, honey, or other animal products) main dish, salad, or dessert; a card listing its ingredients; and plates and utensils for your use. If you come alone, figure the amount to serve 4-6; increase the amount 4 servings for each additional person in your party/family.
