Letter to the Editor - Thanks to the volunteers for Community Thanksgiving Dinner

Editor,

The 2019 Community Thanksgiving was a success because of the team effort from the abundant volunteers.

During the event we talked about our gratitude towards the anonymous donor.

In the kitchen, we reflected on the good works from Gary & Leo’s Fresh Foods for bringing over last-minute groceries, for baking the rolls, the pies and most importantly the turkeys.

Thanks to Alan for his quiet steadfast leadership.

During the two days of prep we recognize, see and feel the blessings from the St. Jude Thaddeus Parish, their resources in the Parish Center are essential to accomplish the dinner mission.

Thanks to the delivery team of Gus Sharp, Melanie Zuidema, Bob Doney and all the drivers.

We are thankful to the volunteers at North Central Montana Senior Citizen Center for taking the delivery orders.

Thanks to the news coverage from New Media Broadcasting and the Havre Daily News.

Thank you to my family who works tirelessly by my side.

To all the people who made up the team, thank you for sharing your resources, your time, your talents and your love, you all made the workload lighter and pleasant. 

I would especially like to thank Peter Bruni for being a great mentor, you will be missed.
