I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving this year. We are having a condensed Thanksgiving this year and I for one am looking forward to it. I enjoy spending one on one time with our family and when there are 30 people at the meal it gets hard to converse sometimes.

Turkey bingos and Gift Guide
We are now into full Thanksgiving mode. That means turkey bingos and community meals. I have said it a bunch of times, if you don’t have plans this Thanksgiving, please consider coming to Chisago Lake Lutheran Church to enjoy a free (good will) community Thanksgiving. The meal is prepared by a bunch of volunteers and has all the fixings. I have been part of the meal in the past, and it looks better than some of the meals we have had over the years.

Veterans Day, Children’s Shop Day
Many thanks to the women and men Veterans who made it out to the Veterans Day Free Community Meal Monday. I had the pleasure of serving the meal along with Joe Thimm, Dave Ertl and Kevin Stenson. There were 358 guests that took part in the meal which looked amazing. Another huge thank you to LeRoy and Matt Mitchell for their tireless work in the kitchen making such a wonderful meal. Thanks also to Emmy Lundeen and all of the many wonderful volunteers that helped this year. We have a truly amazing community.

A Veterans Day thank you
You will find three pages of this paper dedicated to Veterans Day. Veterans Day is celebrated to honor and thank those who served in the United States Armed Forces. Veterans Day is also an opportunity to acknowledge the courage and dedication of veterans’ service to our country. Our community is filled with these women and men who selflessly served and serve our country, often putting themselves in harm's way to defend the freedoms we all enjoy. I can’t say that I am good friends with each and every one of them, but the ones I am friendly with are some of the nicest people you could ever meet.
