We had a great breakfast together on the 6th. Even with a couple of regulars not able to make it, there were 19 Brothers who enjoyed good food and a great time with friends.
Our November Stated will begin at 12:30 with another excellent lunch by Brother Tom Freemer and Company, followed by the meeting promptly at 1:30. We will nominate next year's officers and present our 2027 Budget— both being voted on at the December Stated.
Instead, we hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!
The modern national celebration dates to 1863 when President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national day of "Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens."
The first Thanksgiving is said to have taken place in 1621, when the English colonists (Pilgrims) of Plymouth, in present-day Massachusetts, shared a harvest feast with the Wampanoag people.
The first Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, was on November 27, 1924, and was called “Macy’s Christmas Parade,” aimed at stoking demand for Christmas shopping.
