Editor,
Judging from the many people that made the effort to come back to the kitchen and personally thank the cooks, and the many positive comments that were overheard, it appears the Polson Community Thanksgiving Dinner, held at the Polson Senior Center on Thanksgiving Day, was a great success. The warm atmosphere of the building itself, plus the music, the smell of turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy, and the happy voices and laughter of the people attending, all helped to create a welcoming environment. Homemade pies, rolls and salads contributed by Polson area churches covered the tables.
Thanks to Pastor Kyle Whaley of Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church, who was the Master of Ceremonies and led us in a Thanksgiving prayer and to everyone who contributed to the wonderful musical entertainment.
Thanks to the cooks and kitchen crew who worked overtime to provide the wonderful meal and to the local Boy Scouts and youth groups from several churches who donned aprons to clean off the tables and serve beverages.
It is important to recognize that without the help of the 60 or so community volunteers, this dinner could not have happened.
Last and certainly not least, we want to recognize our donors who helped fund the meal: the Salvation Army; Super One Foods; VFW Post 2986 and Lake SPUDS and several other contributors.
A big thank you to all of you for your generosity, time and energy.
