In November we celebrate Thanksgiving. It’s a time to honor our veterans and recognize Native Americans cultures.

We'll be talking about:

Thanksgiving – how it started. Why we celebrate and how to be respectful of Native American culture.

Great books and what authors to read including reviews of Bolt Action Remedy by JJ Hensley and Imperfect Forgiveness: The miracle of releasing hurt bit by bit by Alice Wheaton

What to serve for your family feast

·         Traditional fare

·         Vegan

·         It’s a little Italian in here

·         A healthy feast

·         Gluten free and other special diet menus

·         What about dessert?

Food and Drink – Terry Kish will be visiting an area restaurant and one of the local wineries, distilleries or craft breweries to find the perfect beverage to kick off the start of the holiday season
