We would like to thank San Diego Public Library for assisting us in ensuring this event can be held. We will be serving a cake, and refreshments, during the event (until supplies run out), as a way to celebrate the 19th anniversary of Wikipedia's beginnings (which occurred in San Diego), and to provide nourishment to attendees in order to fuel their activities to improve/create content on Wikipedia and other Wikimedia Foundation projects.
