After lasts years Giving Thanks event we were grateful that our dinner came off without a bomb cyclone, a power outage, or no internet connection. Our prayers for good weather worked.
This year 21 members came together at the Ground Up cafe to share a Giving Thanks dinner. It is easy to see how Becky and Jen won best business of the year award last year. They were our hosts for the evening and ensured everything ran smoothly. The turkey and all the trimmings were cooked to perfection. Many of us want the stuffing recipe. Dessert was a medley of pumpkin tarts, brownies and cookies.
We did a gratitude exercise where we answered the questions, what are you grateful for now and what have you learned from gratitude, then between dinner and dessert we read each other’s answers. Some shared sentiments were “we are grateful to live in this community with good friends and family”, “gratitude keeps us positive and present”.
Thank you to the volunteers who stepped in and up for this evening. I look forward to this annual event at Ground Up again next year.
