Thanksgiving Project THANKS!

I want to thank everyone who helped us make this year’s Thanksgiving Project another great success!  Thirty four Thanksgiving dinners were delivered to families in and around our area this afternoon.  More than $400 was given towards the purchase of Turkeys and accompanied these bags of fixin’s.  Thank you for your generosity.

 

I am sorry, but if you were planning on being here this evening to help us deliver bags, they were all delivered this afternoon.  I apologize for the change in plans, but the turnout was overwhelming.  Again, thank you… and Happy Thanksgiving!
