SUMMARY:VSDC LGBTQ+ Springtime Cherry Blossoms Stroll
DESCRIPTION:Please join the [Veg Society of DC (VSDC)](vsdc.org) with your fellow LGBTQ+ veg and veg-curious folks for a springtime stroll to take in some of the beautiful cherry blossoms on Capitol Hill while making some new friends. \nWe’ll be **meeting at the [Union Station metro](https://www.wmata.com/rider-guide/stations/union-station.cfm) exit at the front of the building at First St. NE and Columbus Cir. NE *at 12pm\, and will leave by 12:15pm\,*** to slowly stroll through cherry blossoms at Lower Senate Park. From there\, we’ll make our way over to view a very old cherry blossom tree (one of the originally gifted trees) located on the grounds of the Library of Congress. \nWe will then walk to Eastern Market area to enjoy browsing the outdoor market vendors and maybe grab some vegan food and/or coffee\, depending on how the group feels. The total distance we will be walking is under two miles. After the event concludes\, people can take the metro from [Eastern Market](https://www.wmata.com/rider-guide/stations/eastern-market.cfm) or make their own way back to Union Station (which would add additional distance to their walk). \n*[In the event of rain\, we will instead meet at 12pm at the [U.S. Botanical Gardens](https://www.usbg.gov/) ([Capitol South metro](https://www.wmata.com/rider-guide/stations/capitol-south.cfm) is a short walk away) and see some indoor flowers. The host will post an urgent Comment on this event page if we are moving to the indoor venue.]* \n**When**\nSunday\, March 29\, from 12pm to 3pm \n**Transportation**\nUnion Station is on the red line and Eastern Market is on the Orange/Blue/Silver lines. There is also street parking\, though very limited near Union Station\, as well as several garages\, including one at Union Station. \n***About the group***\n*Unless noted otherwise\, VSDC’s LGBTQ+ events are intended for queer/questioning folks who self-identify as LGBTQ+. The events are meant to serve as a safe space to share community with other self-identified queer or questioning LGBTQ+ vegan or vegan-curious people. However\, we appreciate our allies and we plan to host “LGBTQ+ & ALLIES” events approximately quarterly – to welcome non-queer allies into our events in order to share community with our fellow vegans/veg curious VSDC participants. If the event is an “& ALLIES” event\, it will be clearly identified as such in the name of the event. Any person who participates in an “& ALLIES” event must be supportive of LGBTQ+ persons\, their lifestyle\, and their gender expression; unsupportive or combative individuals will be removed from events and banned from future VSDC LGBTQ+ events. Please note that any and all questions related to gender/LGBTQ+ issues that may arise during either LGBTQ+ or LGBTQ+ & ALLIES events must be posed ONLY to event host\, Susan\, and not be asked of any other meetup participants in order to respect their privacy and promote their personal safety.* \n**Update Your RSVP**\nPlease change your RSVP if you can no longer make it. \n**VSDC: More Than A Meetup**\nWe are delighted to have you as part of The Veg Society of DC Vegan Meetup group\, and we look forward to seeing you at our events. Did you know that [VSDC](https://vsdc.org/%20) is a nonprofit organization with membership benefits?\nWith VSDC membership\, you will save money at area restaurants and businesses\, attend VSDC member-only events\, and\, most importantly\, support us as a clear and consistent voice for improving the lives of all beings through community building and education centered on the benefits of a vegan diet and lifestyle.\nThe membership fee is minimal\, but the impact is significant! [Join today](https://vsdc.org/membership/)! \n**Ways to Stay In Touch with Us**\nThank you for being part of our Meetup presence and bringing like-minded people together. We invite you to: \n* Become a [VSDC member](https://vsdc.org/membership/) to save money at area restaurants and support us in being a clear and consistent voice for improving the lives of all beings through community building and education centered on the benefits of a vegan diet and lifestyle.\n* Sign up for our[ monthly e-newsletter](https://vsdc.org/about/newsletter/) to hear more about our activities.\n* Follow us on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/vegsocietydc/) or [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/vegsocietydc/) to engage with us. \n**Interested in Volunteering with VSDC?**\nVSDC offers many events each month\, thanks to the dedication of our event planning team. Would you consider volunteering? To learn more and get started\, [please visit our website](https://vsdc.org/volunteer/). \n**Only Vegan Food\, Please**\nWhile VSDC welcomes people wherever they are on the path to an all-plant\, vegan diet and lifestyle\, it is our policy that only vegan food be served and consumed at our events.

SUMMARY:VSDC LGBTQ+ Collaging\, Creating\, and Community
