We celebrated a delicious Thanksgiving on Tuesday at International Friends. It was a great “training feast” to get us ready for the holiday season.
You might notice some people sporting beards when they are normally clean shaven. That's because it is No Shave November. What started as a goofy excuse for lax grooming has become a symbol of fundraising for cancer research.
There are some key dates through the end of the year for your calendars:
We do not meet November 21 or 22: Happy Thanksgiving
Mark your calendar for December 18 and our annual Christmas party! Food! Fun! White Elephant Gifts!
Our last class/meeting of 2018 is December 22
Classes and meetings resume January 4, 2019
We sang a traditional Thanksgiving hymn "Come, Ye Thankful People Come." This song uses the old English "ye" for the word "you" and "doth" for the word "does". As we roll into the holiday season, ye might notice many holiday songs that came from England keep this tradition.
International Friends: Tuesdays, 10:00-11:30, room 100
Novmeber 14: Join us as we visit Butler University Irwin Library and for the last day of the Historical Society "Who is a Hoosier?" Exhibit. Read more about this traveling exhibit that shows how Indiana has always had a place on the international stage.
