Thanksgiving preparations underway (11/06/06)
Letter to the Editor
To the editor:
Thanksgiving Day is quickly approaching and the committee for the 16th Annual Community Thanksgiving Dinner has begun making preparations for serving a hearty festive meal to hundreds of individuals. Around the tables at Asbury Church there will be those who are unable to commute to a family gathering; others with financial challenges; some who are just unable to prepare the traditional meal for their family; and many people who annually attend this community event simply for the fun, fellowship, and the delicious food it offers.
In addition to the meal and the chance to gather with others, there will again be a variety of door prizes and gift certificates to local area businesses. Our hope is to provide a bit of enjoyment and to give the home budget some relief even after the holiday is over.
As always, we are happy to include the homebound in this holiday tradition by furnishing double portions of food to help carry them through a long weekend. If you are homebound, we have many drivers standing by who are anxious to deliver a traditional meal to your home. Please call either the Asbury U. M. Church at (260) 726-8464 or Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church at (260) 726-8832 (mornings) with your request. If you choose to brighten the day of homebound individuals by joining them for dinner, feel free to stop by Asbury for the number of carryout meals you will need.
If you have your own holiday tradition with your family but would like to lend a hand, please feel free to make an extra dish (in a disposable container, please) and drop it off at Asbury as you travel to your gathering.
Or, if you want to spend an hour or two assisting as needed, we invite you to stop by at your convenience. Help is always needed in homebound preparation (9-11 a.m.), homebound delivery (11-noon), serving the dinner and drinks in the Fellowship Hall (at 1 p.m.), and clean-up (between 3:30-5:30 p.m.).
The welcome mat is out to the entire Jay community. We encourage all of you to join us for this heartwarming day. Even if you cannot be a part of this celebration, we hope your family enjoys a bounty of peace and joy.
