Definitely

  • Dennis Knicely (talk) 17:36, 5 June 2024 (UTC) I will share a mostly organic plant-based [vegan] treat - non-GMO while free of Gluten/wheat, no animal products, no highly refined ingredients - just nutritionally balanced to taste awesome.[reply]

See you there.

I will be there. Thanks!
