Dinner organizer

Fall has arrived. That means Thanksgiving is just around the corner. We are gearing up for the annual Community Thanksgiving Dinner at the Mullis Center on Nov. 26 at noon. This will be the 17th year for this event that has gotten better every year. Many diners also pitch in to help and that is good because the San Juan Island Community Thanksgiving Dinner depends on more than 100 volunteers to help make it all happen. Anyone who wants to volunteer can sign up on line to help out this year. Sometimes there are a dozen people in the kitchen peeling potatoes, washing pots, stirring gravy or slicing turkey. There’s always another chore that needs to be done. To volunteer visit communitythanksgivingdinner.weebly.com/volunteer-here.html.
