A time of Thanksgiving

The tables were beautifully set for attendees of the Thanksgiving Dinner held at the Licking Senior Center on Wednesday, November 17. All enjoyed food, fellowship and the festive setting. Including carryout orders, 171 people were served a fine feast of turkey and dressing with cranberry sauce, gravy, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, a hot roll, pumpkin pie or a pumpkin crunch dessert. Only three carryout orders had to be declined. Special thanks to all the volunteers who helped prepare, serve and clean up, and also to Meri Wrest who did a beautiful job decorating the center and preparing the table settings.
