[CCHS-2011] Thanksgiving Thank You!!

[Lynn McFarlan Randall]

The Class of 2011 and the Class of 2011 Parent Advisory Group would like to thank the families and students who donated their time, effort, funds and food items to make the Thanksgiving 2009 Luncheon a Success!
 It is a tradition, spanning over 20 years, that the Junior Class provides a feast worthy of Kings and Queens to the Senior Citizens of Concord and Carlisle.  Turkey with all the trimmings, pie & whipped cream, cheese and cracker appetizers, cider, coffee, tea with the gentle banter and thoughtful conversations exchanged between our youth and the community's elderly, as one serves the other. It was amazing to witness - the smiles, the hard work, the gratitude and the kindness.
We had a wonderful crew of 2011 students who transformed the cafeteria into a banquet hall with festive centerpieces courtesy of Nancy Ryan (elegant paper cut trees) and Keith Nelms (sugar pumpkins) and the linens, china and cutlery from our table sponsors. The servers, also Students from 2011, arrived on time and with energy. They made each person they waited on feel special and important.  Thank you.
And Special Thank You to the parents of 2011 who donated items:
