Hi All - Dave and I are inviting all who have no other Thanksgiving plans to join us in Hangar 50 for a Thanksgiving of Friends. Thursday, 11/27 - start at noon with tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. Sit down to eat to a shared meal at around 4:30 - 5 PM. I will roast a couple of turkey, make cranberry sauce, stuffing and gravy. I ask that you bring your favorite Thanksgiving day side, a dessert and what you want to drink. We will be showing a movie after dinner. Come for the day or just a bit. We look forward to seeing you. Here is the evite link so you can RSVP! https://evite.me/Y8NE82FRuS
