On Thursday evening, November 20, under the leadership of knight Tom Donnelly, Assembly 2316 provided a wonderful early Thanksgiving dinner to veterans currently living at St. Francis House in Little Rock.  Approximately 45 residents were served (including three children).

The dinner included turkey with dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy, beans almandine, and rolls.  The dessert, consisting primarily of pumpkin pie with whipped cream, was provided by members of the American Legion.

In addition to Tom, knights included Scott Krantz, Dave Johnston, and Mike Kerwin.  American Legion members: were Tom & Sandi Durant, Dallas & Mary Erdman, Anna Meaux, and Lenny Petterson.

Since the only food remaining after the meal concluded was a few pieces of pie, everyone seemed to have enjoyed  the feast.
