Raw and Living Food Potlucks/ Rawlucks and Live Feasts
RawFood Meetup Groups are a wonderful way to connect with fellow raw food enthusiasts in your city or town... and mutually support, learn from, share raw food dishes with, and network with... one another... in person.
Locate and JOIN a RawFood Meetup in YOUR Area. "...Meet fellow Raw Foodists near you! Come to a local Raw Food Meetup to have fun, share raw food meals, and discuss vegan diet and health issues. Anyone interested in the raw/live food diet and lifestyle is welcome!..." Meetup.com is a fabulous social networking website devoted to bringing like-minded people together at the local level. There are Raw Food Meetups bringing the healthy raw food lifestyle to a community near you. I highly recommend that if you can find one near you... JOIN THEM. And if you don't find one close enough to you to connect with regularly, START a RawFood Meetup yourself.
There are currently 6,142 Raw Foodists in 79 Groups from 69 Cities … and 3,214 more waiting to hear when a new Meetup starts! |
