Glendora Vegeterian Club
Good news, everybody! The bulletin for Hudson Valley Community College is out, and this summer they are offering a course in vegan cooking. Hooray! And there is further joy. Also being offered this summer is a course in vegan baking. Let’s go!
Here’s how it goes, folks. You do what your conscience tells you to do. If your conscience tells you not to do it, don’t do it. This means you will be without guilt; and since you are without guilt, you will be without fear. You are being good. You have nothing to fear. You are impervious to sickness and sin.
