THANKSGIVING CELEBRATION On Tuesday, November 26th, The Center will be holding its Thanksgiving Celebration. Please join us for a day of celebration which will include favors, a delicious roasted turkey meal complete with pumpkin pie for dessert and fellowship with our extended family around the dining room tables. Thanksgiving is also a time to reflect on the blessings we receive each day. In November, The Center will have a “Board of Blessings” for members to post their blessings to share with The Center. No names are necessary, just blessings!

When the Halloween pumpkins are gone,

And the leaves have all fallen to ground,

When the air has turned windy and cold,

Then Thanksgiving will soon be around.

Thoughts of loved ones all feasting together,

Pleasant pictures from past times appear

To dwell in each heart and each mind--

Then Thanksgiving is finally here!
