Like millions of others across this great country, we will celebrate Thanksgiving, honoring a tradition older than the nation itself. The Continental Congress proclaimed that the "inhabitants of these states" observe a day of Thanksgiving back in 1782. Ever since then we set this day aside to give thanks for all our blessings, and this year we have many things for which to be thankful.
Please also take the time
to remember and help the less fortunate.
Many families and children are doing with less, Take the time to become
involved in a local charity, with time, if not a donation. There are many
ongoing charities that are looking for donations and volunteers. The Palmetto
Bay Canal Association will be collecting canned foods during its 5th Annual boat Parade
scheduled for Saturday, December 20.
Thanksgiving is the busiest
traveling season of the year. Please be
aware and be safe.
One of my personal favorite
quotes about a holiday:
On Thanksgiving Day all
over America, families sit down to dinner at the same moment - halftime.
