Turkey Blog
I started my Thanksgiving at a donation-only yoga class
(thank you Megan Sappington) at Wilson’s Yoga Studio, a Thanksgiving tradition
with my sister. Usually she’s visiting
from Minneapolis but this year we celebrated her first Thanksgiving as a
Missouri resident again along with her husband and my sweet nephew! Welcome home sis!
We set an intention at the beginning of yoga class, mine
was to be thankful. Today I’m thankful
for such a giving community, thanks to all of you who support our local charities
and those who volunteer to make a difference in the lives of others, you make
Jefferson City better!
I was challenged to kiss a turkey to help the Samaritan
Center raise 1,000 turkeys or $1,000. It
all started when Bill Farr asked his Facebook friends if everyone would donate
a turkey to Samaritan Center so I replied with “Let me be the first!” and the
rest is history! We exceeded our goal
and total donations reached $23,000! Thanks
to all who gave or who still want to give to Samaritan Center, 1310 East
McCarty, Jefferson City, MO 65101, or contact Ms. DeFeo at (573) 634-7776.
Thanks for your generosity!
I had my pucker ready but it looks like the turkey
“chickened out!” so I got to kiss a tiger and a cow instead!! THANKS to Stripes, the Lincoln University
Blue Tiger and to the Chick-Fil-A Cow!!!
Today I am thankful for all of the families who got to
enjoy a Thanksgiving meal thanks to our generous community!
Sincerely,
