Vegan Brunch
Tuesdays, August 2, 9, 16, 23, 30, 11:00am - 2:00pm
Liberty Hall, 311 N Ivy St. (1 block south of Fremont, 2 blocks west of Vancouver)
Sponsor Microcosm Publishing (503) 249-3826
We've been conducting vegan brunches every sunday for months and when the weather got nice people stopped coming. We grow food here in our garden and the idea is that people come by to cook it together and eat it. If people buy things we collect donations to pay for it but generally the idea is eating together instead of alone and meeting new faces. We even eat outside in the garden nowadays!
