    • For this post choose "Food & Drink"
    • What will your Meetup's name be?
    • Describe who should join, and what your Meetup will do.
    • An example is given below: I am a member of this meetup.
      “IEVM is a community of vegans, vegetarians, and veggie-curious folks seeking to connect with like-minds on their journey toward compassionate living. We welcome all who are interested in the vegan lifestyle, including those who may not know where to begin. No matter where you are on your journey or what your motives may be (i.e. ethical, environmental, health, etc.), we are here to support and inspire you. We strive to promote the vegan lifestyle by hosting a variety of events including food outings, potlucks, social activities, and cooking classes on a regular basis. Special events like lectures, bake sales, community outreach, documentary screenings, and field trips also take place throughout the year. There's a little bit of something for everyone in our group and we hope to share some exciting experiences with you soon!       [3], [4]
