“Thanksgiving” is already here. It’s a time of the year to offer thanks and reflect on those things that are most important in our lives… family and good food!

Many of you will gather with family and friends to celebrate this great day, but we must remember to keep in mine those families right in our neighborhood that may not have all the trimmings because of their financial state.

So let us reach out by adopting a family that can join our celebrations and enjoy the day and show some compassion. If you cannot find a family in need, families can always benefit from contributions made to local charitable agencies.
