Our Community Thanksgiving dinner at Safe Harbor Church made around 70 people full and happy! We had a good turn out from the village as well as workers from Trident. We cooked two huge turkeys and a 15 lb ham and real mashed potatoes, gravy and all the fixings. In addition the village folks brought their favorite dishes. We enjoyed fish pie, halibut chowder and octopus among other local favorites.
Our friend Ken entertained us with lovely classical music on his unique portable cello. The kids as well as adults were fascinated with his instruments and music.
The Otter Quilting Club prepared 18 quilted or hand made pieces for a silent auction. Here the bidding has just begun and continued at an increasingly heated pace throughout the evening.
The Sunday School kids performed "Away in a Manger" for their parents and they helped Gary share the wonderful story of Christmas.
Little one year old Sebastian was practicing his new walking skills and enjoying the whole evening, especially the big kids!
The Otter Quilting Club earned almost $1000 to be donated as a love gift to their beloved Father Andrew and his wife to help with their travel expenses to their itinerant parishes in the Aleutians.
