Lifehouse Thanksgiving Dinner 
Rotarians Serving Thanksgiving Dinner at Life House
By:  Dan Dock
 
Although the weather interfered with our Annual Meeting with Kiwanis on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving (cancelled due to the blizzard), Rotarians nevertheless worked to serve over 135 Thanksgiving meals to children and teens some of whom are homeless.  Nothing went to waste and the many statements of Thankfulness were touching.   WDIO TV was there and did a great job to capture the event for the evening news.  A huge thank you to all who helped make this event a huge success!
 
     Jon Ohman, Tom Young, Geiger Yount, Bob Johnson, Jerry Pelofske,
     Jenna Bergee (Interior Designer), Karen Dock, Michael Orman, Anne Orman,
     Renee Mattson, Jim Schwartz, McKenzie MacFarlane (Rotaract), Mark Leutceb (Skyline),
     Dan Dock, Christine Empanger, Elizabeth Simonson, Michelle Buria    
 
And special recognition to the participation of New Life Church, Skyline Rotary, Gary Schneider of G.B. Schneider Restaurant, and Bruce Anderson with Super One.
