Thanksgiving

Sarah Mechtemberg, Sister Carmen, the volunteers and I had an excellent Thanksgiving Day meal yesterday. Everyone remembered the people that we are thankful for: family, mentors, leaders who help us imagine a better future. And we are all thankful for the opportunities that life offers us, and want to extend these opportunities to other who do not have them. That is a big reason that we are all here.

(We were also thankful for such a full table: Roasted chicken with stuffing, organic cauliflower and broccoli, mashed potatoes and gravy, cranberry dressing -- thanks, Tanya! -- and pumpkin pie! Enough for a real Thanksgiving Food Coma!)
