On Thursday, November 27 @ 3:00 pm - 8:00 pm the Canteen is hosting a Thanksgiving Day potluck again this year!  Last year we enjoyed a bountiful feast with dozens of people.  It was a joy!  We are opening our doors again this Thanksgiving Day from 3 – 8 pm.  We are supplying chicken and a pork roast, provided by local vendors.  Bring a covered dish to share if you are able and your own reusable place setting.  If you cannot bring food or a place setting for any reason, please join us anyway.  We would love to feed you.

ALSO

The Cedar Mountain Canteen has received a large donation of food to distribute.  We have 25 lb bags of King Arthur flour, sugar, brown sugar, corn meal, brown rice, and a variety of dried beans.  Stop by with a container and get all you want.

AROUND THE HOUSE by Linda Packer Young

We are finally getting our yard cleaned up on Friday.  There are still areas with evidence of Hurricane Helene and it has to go.  Hopefully they will be able to trim some bushes for us as well.  They are trying to take over.  The  best part is that they haul all the debris away.
