Thanksgiving and December

Thanksgiving is FAST approaching! At least I think it is...I'm confused by what I hear on the radio!

What a blur this year has been...yet at the same time...haven't I been working this job forever?? It is hard to believe it will only be a year come December.

And with that, December is going to be a great month! Check out all the things we have going on! Come to something, or all of it, and invite friends! Parents are welcome at these events as well. :) What a great way to bond with the youth during this Thanksgiving/Advent/Christmas Season!
