FOLLOWING UP

on something wonderful that happened back in November.


Becky Maggio wrote to tell me about something that a very special man did for residents of his community.

"For years he has been planning and dreaming about putting a Thanksgiving Dinner on for the people in his community that may not have a Thanksgiving meal or that may not have very much company for the holiday."

His Dream Came True on Sunday Nov. 28th, when he gave well over 100 people a huge Thanksgiving Dinner at the Clifford J. Fulmer Post of the American Legion!!!

Becky told me, "I don't know exactly how many were there, but I do know that we ran out of plates!"

And she went on, "I do not think that I have ever seen someone so happy and willing to do something like this. He did not do this for the publicity or for recognition; but I think he needs to be recognized for what he has done."



THANK YOU, SCOTT BULLOCK!

Shown here with Irene Lew, seated, and Mary Beth Plourde who helped him organize the event.

Thanks, too, go to Clifford J. Fulmer American Legion Post 92 for their donations, use of space and of course the invaluable man and women power. The Legion Riders, Sons of the Legion, Ladies Auxiliary all donated their time and resources in food preparation and service. Food donations were received from The Pryputniewicz farm, Stewart's and Harding Nursing home while door prize donations came in from Mary Rose Florist, Don and Theresa Trondsen, Kevin Hahn, Colette Stitts, and Mike Nelson.
