| Try Vegan Week 2012 |
| August 4 - 11 (10:00 - 2:00 AM) |
Try Vegan Week (TVW) is an annual event that is the foundation of TVPDX. This weeklong series of events is where TVPDX began. The week includes workshops, speakers, dine-outs, and mentoring. The week will conclude with a Vegan Prom, that will include music, photos, costumes, and community. We will be supporting past sponsors, local organizations, and businesses, who will be mentioned at events associated with Try Vegan PDX including Try Vegan Week. We match those who have thought about the vegan lifestyle, with passionate vegans who want to show them what a great choice it can be.
Our ultimate goal, besides exposing people to this wonderful lifestyle, and welcoming recent transplants to the city, is to build community in Portland, among those who are like minded in issues supporting the vegan lifestyle. We are focused more on the how to of being vegan rather than the why, though both areas are highlighted. We are excited to be a part of this community and have heard amazing stories as a result of people's experience with past Try Vegan Week events! We look forward to meeting you and seeing you in August, if not before. |
