We have an opportunity at Mt. Pleasant Regional Library to show our veterans that we are thankful for their service. We are taking donations of toiletry items, new clothing, flip flops, foot powder and nail clippers. These will be given to homeless veterans. Ground coffee, reading glasses (any strength) and CARTA one-day bus passes are for those visiting the VA hospital. Please bring your donations to the reference desk any time before the end of the month. We have done this the past few years, and the veterans are very appreciative.
Here are a couple of titles that might help us to slow down and enjoy this very special holiday:
"The Thanksgiving Ceremony is a small gem--a book that brings to life the history, songs, and traditions, old and new, of the most widely celebrated holiday of the year. This is a buoyant book, full of hope and praise of all that makes us Americans."--Julie Nixon Eisenhower
"Giving Thanks: Thanksgiving recipes and history, from pilgrims to pumpkin pie" by Kathleen Curtin, Sandra Oliver and Plimoth Plantation Thanks for reading and Happy Thanksgiving. |
