Thank you Marina for the note. Â Yes!! Â By all means. Â You have a great idea for an exchange of Canned or Boxed goods for the bowls. Â I have suggested a drive by bowl event, this sounds like the right idea.
Please do send more information and pictures about your idea and event.  I’ll publish and share online.
Sincerely;
LeRoy
