It is hoped that many of you will bake delicious pies (pies that can be frozen for Thanksgiving feasts are especially welcome) to be auctioned following the meal, beginning at about 7:30pm.
Note: Pies should be delivered on the day of the dinner/auction by 3 p.m.
On Saturday we will be participating in the Farmer’s Market at the Brett School from 10am-1pm. Gretchen will be there with a table of relishes, hot pepper jelly, popcorn, cornmeal, plants and other things. Hope to see you there!

Thanksgiving
For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food,
For love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)
