Veggie Drinks Night
On Tuesday, a bunch of us go out and get absolutely bladdered in an attempt to dispel the myth that vegans are uptight teetotalers. No, no, calm down, just kidding!
Our Veggie Drinks night is not a big booze up. And everyone from vegan to vegetarian to flexitarian is welcome. You can order a Perrier if you want or just some appetizers. Chivana has great veggie appetizers.
We started this mix and mingle night because a lot of people expressed an interest in having more events where people could meet new friends who shared their values.
The great thing about Veggie Drinks Night is there's more mingling than at a dine-out, where you tend to sit with the same people all night. And you can leave whenever you want. But do register so we save a seat for you:
