Join ARC's program director, Chelsea Youngquist and volunteer coordinator Katie Arndt, in a discussion about working through traditionally non-vegan summer social gatherings-Memorial and Labor Day grill outs, family vacations, work potlucks, Independence Day, and the State Fair. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own ideas as well as a vegan snack or meal side. This is meant to be a low-key, social learning environment. If you can bring something to share, please post in the comments so we do not have duplicates of food. Discussion is from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM.
