And when I say joins, I mean, darn, it sure can be rewarding even if it is a huge pain in the butt.

So this spring Dartmouth Vegan Society is coming back into force after being on hiatus in the winter due to my inability to keep up with an extra course load and other obligations. It was a bit sad to lose touch with the group, but now that we’re back in action I’m reminded how troublesome it can actually be.

We got about 10 people to show up, which, all things considered, is a pretty darn good turn out. Some new faces, but pretty much the same old folks you get to know when you’re vegan on a small campus.

Anyway, we’ve got a few plans, and I thought it might be worth going over some of them in case anyone is interested or has some suggestions (since the group can be pretty sparce for ideas when it comes down to it):

• we’re going to work on bringing back a vegan nutritionist (named Deanna Latson) next year. Last year she gave a great presentation, and it would be cool to see her back to expose some new faces.
• last year we had a pretty sweet  barbeque during  the large party weekend in the Spring (known as Green Key), and I definitely think we should do that again.
• we’re also working on doing some pot-lucks, both within and without the group, to have fun and also to get some new people interested in the tasty possibilities that are vegan cooking.

Anyway, just a short update, but I’m pretty excited, you’ll see more updates (hopefully with pictures and recipes) as life goes on.
