What I am thankful for

The 2016 Free Community Thanksgiving Dinner was such a wonderful dinner that we wanted to make sure to thank each and every one who took part. An undertaking like this would be impossible were it not for all the many people who contributed their time, food, and money to make the event such a success. Our thanks and appreciation also goes to the VFW for the use of their facility, Libby Senior Center for the use of their tables, the Libby Ministerial Association and area churches whose members provided much of the food and volunteer effort, Thrivent Financial for an action team grant, local merchants, and all who helped in any way to make this year’s dinner possible. We both consider it a privilege to be part of such a caring and generous community.
