VSDC @ Compassionate Lunch & Learn with Jerry Parisella

Please join us for a Compassionate Lunch & Learn featuring Jerry Parisella, author of Stop Eating the Animals co-hosted by the Animal Sanctuary Network and the Veg Society of DC (VSDC)

Jerry will share ideas and research from his book, exploring how our food choices connect with the well-being of animals, people, and the planet. Enjoy lunch, ask questions, and connect with others in a welcoming, relaxed setting.

We’ll also celebrate Kizuna’s unveiling of its vegan menu, a delicious opportunity to discover what this Tysons restaurant has to offer. Whether you’re already vegan or simply curious, you’re welcome to join us!

Lunch is $35 per person (all-in), including:

Appetizers
Your choice of entrée
Dessert
Fountain drinks and ice tea
Tax and tip

Register here for free, then pay for your lunch directly at the restaurant. No advance meal payment is required. Please RSVP at the link above so we can coordinate with Kizuna. Seating is open, with no assigned seats.

SUPPORTING ROSIE’S FARM SANCTUARY
Enjoy a meal that gives back: 15% of event proceeds will benefit Rosie's Farm Sanctuary supporting its work providing a safe home for rescued farmed animals. Optional additional donations are welcome.
