Letter to the Editor: Community Thanksgiving gets diverse group together

To the Editor:

What a wonderful way to celebrate Thanksgiving, in the midst of old friends and new friends made at the celebration at the Old Town Hall on Thanksgiving Day.

I must say that Lise Ott and her “crew of many” did an excellent job, as they did last year, and I’m grateful for that. Not just for the food, not having to cook, serve or clean the mess is a big plus, but the dinner blessing, decorations, laughter, after-dinner games etc., etc., etc.

In the wake of “problems” in our small community, it was just a pleasure to mingle with good people, enjoy the day and have no fear, because in this day and times there are many fears that we face and its just one day that we choose to be happy, joyful and present in the moment.

I am grateful that I live in this community, for all things great and small, that we are still able to help each other in one way or another. I think that our blessing as a community is that we are FREE TO DO THAT.
