Bay Area Vegetarians

We are the Bay Area Vegetarians Vegan Book Club, the first/original book club of Bay Area Vegetarians. We started meeting in January of 2006 and our plan is to meet 8 times a year to discuss books (mostly novels and occasionally interesting nonfiction or other types of books) over a vegan meal or snack.

We're currently a group of 10 with 2 on the waiting/cancellation list.
