Oh What A Day!!!

What an amazing gift we all were able to provide our neighbors in Sonoma County who would have otherwise gone without a holiday meal!  Together we collected 216 turkeys that will be distributed throughout the county. 216!!  Can you believe it? 
It's simply awesome!

Thank you so much to all of you who came and brought a turkey!  Thank you to you who helped set up and clean up!  You guys rock!!!


Thank you to our amazing and generous donors!  All of the restaurants on the right.  You made the party worth coming to!

Thank you just seems like too small a word, but it's all I have.  I'm humbled and amazed by the generousity and community spirit of Petalumans!

Thank you!!!

Tomorrow's the Day!

We're almost there!  Getting so excited about the possibilities of feeding so many a Thanksgiving dinner!
Working together we can do so much for our community!
I am forever grateful to our generous donors (the ones over there on the right), to the Redwood Gospel Mission and COTS for all of the work that you do, not only on Thanksgiving, but every day of the year and most importantly to you, who come and enjoy and bring your turkeys every year!  Without you, the rest of it just wouldn't matter!

Thank you so much and see you tomorrow!

Great News!

 

Great News!
The Redwood Gospel Mission will be partnering with COTS this year to share in the turkeys collected through this event!  I love that these two amazing organizations are working together to feed Thanksgiving dinner to those who would otherwise go without.

The Turkey Party is now 4 days from today and the turkeys are going on sale!  Safeway has them for $7.99 each with a club card and a $25 minimum purchase.  Lucky has turkeys for .49 per pound with a $25 minimum purchase and are limiting you to two.  Target has turkeys for .79 per pound, and FoodMaxx has them posted for .69 per pound, but apparently they rung up at .59 per pound!  What a deal!  Both are limiting you to two turkeys.

Wherever you choose to buy your frozen turkey, please buy one or two and help feed someone...a neighbor...maybe even someone you know, who wouldn't otherwise enjoy a Thanksgiving dinner.

From the bottom of my heart - thank you and bless you for your support of the Turkey Party.
