These are monthly vegetarian-related events in the DC area by groups other than VSDC.
The Baltimore chapter of EarthSave organizes this monthly event in Lutherville Maryland (near Towson). Each has either a featured speaker or video presentation with a message on some aspect of healthier eating, environmental health, or the psychology of making lifestyle changes. Read about the next Baltimore EarthSave dinner.
Please bring a dish made without animal products that will serve 6 or more people, along with the ingredients list or recipe. There is also an admission fee of $2 for members and $4 for guests. Or you may attend without bringing a dish for a $12 fee, but please give two days notice. Please provide your own place settings. Prizes are awarded each month to those who prepare the most popular dishes.
Everyone is welcome! EarthSave's meetings provide a relaxed atmosphere in which to learn and grow. Thirty or more people usually attend, and the evening's events allow lots of opportunities to meet people and chat. Call 410-252-3043 for more information. See also the EarthSave International website.
PCRM Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, a non-profit organization which promotes preventive medicine through innovative programs, holds volunteer work nights twice a month on selected Thursdays from 6-9 pm. They are held at PCRM's offices in Friendship Heights, DC, at 5100 Wisconsin Avenue NW, Suite 400, two blocks south of the Friendship Heights red-line metro stop (Jenifer Street exit). There is also free parking on the street and in the parking lot in the rear of the building. Volunteers gather to assist PCRM in spreading the vegan message through various projects, including assembling mailings to prospective and new members, photocopying, and other interesting projects. Vegan refreshments are served, and free literature is provided. PCRM can also always use additional help during weekdays. For more information, contact Ronny Little at 202-686-2210 x334, or rlittle@pcrm.org.
