The Party Room at Hoss's was filled with thirty-five special individuals sharing of their bountiful harvest, as we collected four large boxes of groceries that we gave to the Bellwood-Antis Food Share Program. Our gracious donation will add to the distributions of Thanksgiving food baskets serving 100 families in our area.
As we talked about Thanksgiving, several classmates shared with the group, the things they are thankful for. We all should be thankful that we are Americans, living in a country with bountiful resources and the willingness to share with others that are in need. We also passed a canister around the room taking donations for the Christmas Carol Foundation. That evening we collected $400 and I am still receiving checks in the mail. I will be sending the total amount received on November 30, as WFBG Radio will start to announce each day from December 12th through 24Th, a Christmas Carol Gift to an unfortunate family experiencing a catastrophic situation this year helping to make Christmas a little brighter.
John & Bonnie Moffa traveled from Delaware and surprised us with their visit for the evening. We were also pleased to see Kay Hornberger Pfahler and Darlene Thomas Detwiler once again. It is hard for some people to attend every get together do to our busy life styles today. Speaking for myself, as I have become older sometimes I get involved in many things and the dates conflict. It is always a pleasure when we get together.
We celebrated Kenny Brubaker 's birthday with Bob Himes leading us in song. As the evening progressed we played "Thanksgiving Fact or Fiction", a series of questions on how much do we know about a holiday we have been celebrating for years?
We the Bellwood-Antis Class of '62 is a special breed of people that reach out to others in need. Thank you all for being so generous and caring.
