What happened

A free sit-down dinner on Monday, November 25, from 4 to 6 PM at the Holy Name Social Center, two days before Thanksgiving.

The flyer we have is the Spanish one, headed Cena de Acción de Gracias. Printing in Spanish as well as English goes back at least this far, which is why this site is bilingual.
