Many of us are curious about veganism but think it sounds way too difficult to actually dive in. Author of the lifestyle guidebook Vegan Love, Maya Gottfried thought the very same thing. Now she’s been vegan for more than a decade. In this introduction to veganism, Maya will share the compelling ethical, environmental, and health reasons to opt for a vegan lifestyle and share her favorite tips and tricks for everything from eating out at restaurants to buying leather-free fancy shoes, to navigating the holidays. Bring your curiosity and your questions!

About our presenter: Maya Gottfried is the author of three children’s books, including Good Dog and Our Farm: By the Animals of Farm Sanctuary (both published by Knopf), as well as the adult nonfiction lifestyle guide Vegan Love. Her essays have appeared in media outlets including Oprah Daily,  The Washington Post, and Stat (Boston Globe Media).

This program is designed to ease the transition to daycare, preschool, and especially kindergarten and is paid for in part by Dutchess County.

Registration required. Register here.

Each of us has a wealth of memories.

The goal of this once a month program is writing your life stories.

At every gathering each person has 10 minutes to share a story with our group members in a very supportive environment. No one’s work and writing skills are ever critiqued. Your unique style of writing is the right way to write.

Please join us every month. Relive your memories that will one day become your memoir.

Surprise your family who’ve wanted you to do this. The biggest surprise you’ll find is recalling the stories of your life.

We look forward to seeing you.
