The Sherburne Lions Club has been helping area residents to celebrate Thanksgiving for over 20 years, and this year, I wanted to join in and contribute my time to their cause.

On Thanksgiving Day, I arrived at the United Methodist Church in Sherburne ready to cook and serve a Thanksgiving meal. My experience told me it would be no easy task. Preparing my own Thanksgiving dinners for 10 or 15 people is a lot of work. Preparing the meal for over 100, I thought was going to be a back breaking task.

I was wrong. By the time I arrived in Sherburne, some volunteers had already been there for hours, and while I was eager to help, the majority of the work had been done. I busied myself washing pots and pans as the Lions Members finished cooking with them and we waited for our first diners to arrive.
