2013 marks the 10th year of the Turkey Party! We're shooting for 2 tons of turkey for the Redwood Gospel Mission this November. The "price" of admission is a frozen turkey, which is donated to the Mission, who uses them for both the Mission's own Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners and distributes them throughout the community. The 2013 Turkey Party is November 17th from 9:00 - 6:30 pm at New Life Christian Fellowship, 1310 Clegg Street in Petaluma.

6 More Days!!!!
Thanksgiving is the one day that really hasn't been taken over by mass marketing and commercialism. I think that's why it's my favorite holiday! There's no gifts, no real shopping to do, no pressure, just a great traditional meal served to family and friends. A moment to share time together and to reflect on the things we have to be grateful for; because even in the tough times, there is always something to be thankful for. Really, a traditional Thanksgiving dinner is a simple meal: turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, a vegetable dish and pie! But this simple meal evokes memories that last a lifetime. Most people, when I ask them about Thanksgiving, smile, before saying even the first word. This simple dinner is powerful! Together, we can help to ensure that everyone who needs this simple meal, this special food memory has this opportunity. The wonderful, generous participating restaurants are lined up. The vendors are ready! The raffle is going to be amazing! Now, all we need is you, your friends, your family and your frozen turkeys! See you on Sunday! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your generosity is wonderful to see and humbling!
