Friendsgiving
Thursday, November 17, 2022
Still time to sign up. Reservations close November 13.
Come share this special time with your PGIslanders family and give thanks for recovery from Hurricane Ian, and most important, appreciation for the friends we have in the PGIslanders. We’ll gather at the PGICA on November 17, the Thursday before Thanksgiving, at 6:00 pm.
There is a charge of only $8 per person to cover the cost of turkey and gravy and table setup. When you sign up, please let us know what dish you’ll bring to share to help round out the menu. Examples are mashed or sweet potatoes, vegetable casserole, dressing/stuffing, cranberries, salad, rolls and butter, or dessert. Coffee and water will be served, and ice will be available. You may bring your own beverage of choice.
In the spirit of giving, please bring donations of non-perishable food items, paper goods (TP, paper towels), toiletries, laundry detergent, or dish detergent to go to St. Vincent de Paul Society. For extra fun, members should arrange their donations to make a centerpiece for their table. We’ll be looking for the largest centerpiece, tallest centerpiece, pretties/most artistic centerpiece, most colorful, etc.
Sign up at the November Member Meeting, Wednesday Socials at the PGICA on October 26 or November 9, or by contacting the coordinator, Sue Linehan, at suelinehanpgi@gmail.com or (941) 979-6977. Please make the $8 per person payment by check payable to PGIslanders. If you would like to mail your check, please send to:

Volunteers are needed for this event. We need help with contacting attendees about what they will bring, help with setup, cleanup, picking up the turkey that evening, receiving food, organizing food, serving food, and arranging for the turkey and its pickup. Contact Sue to volunteer. If someone would like to create a program or a fun activity for the evening, that would be great. Please let Sue know.
It’s a wonderful time to celebrate the thanks we have for our PGIslanders friends and our great life in PGI. This traditional event is well attended, and we would like to continue it that way. Please come and share this special time with us.
