All are welcome to join the 12th Annual Community Thanksgiving potluck meal on Thursday, Nov. 25, at the Coupeville Rec Hall.

A traditional spread will be served buffet-style from noon until 2:30, or whenever the food runs out.

Turkey and ham are provided by the organizers, while the rest of the tasty menu is up to those who attend.

This is a smoke- and alcohol-free event that just gets better every year. Why sit home alone, fix a huge meal for a few or dine out at a restaurant when you can spend the holiday with like-minded folks in a convivial atmosphere, and stuff yourself into the bargain? The community feast is free, fun and friendly.

The gathering is loosely organized by locals, and help is always welcome. To get involved, call Peg and Gordon Burton at 678-1667 or Kathy Griggs at 678-6000.
