[Fuusm-l] Thanksgiving 2024

[Darryl Ting]

Nancy and Shari,
I like your original idea, but not the expanded one.  Norwood United
Methodist already does a big Thanksgiving Dinner with dine-in and delivered
meals.  (We have delivered Thanksgiving meals for them for many years.)  We
should support their big project and not do something that competes with
their efforts.
