Thank you for Odd Fellows’ Thanksgiving | Letter

Published 9:34 am Wednesday, November 30, 2011

A fabulous Thanksgiving dinner was, once again, shared by all at the Odd Fellows Hall.

Bill Gincig did a fantastic job of organizing this year’s dinner in perfect accordance with the detailed notes that his wife, Monique, had kept. With help from an energetic crew of Odd Fellows, several other volunteers, and many, many cooks, the hall looked beautiful, guitar and violin music greeted everyone, and the tables were heavy with abundant turkey, and all of the delicious traditional additions. More than 200 Orcas neighbors enjoyed a wonderful feast together.

Although we missed Monique’s presence, her spirit was alive and well in this lovely event that she helped to create, for the community that was so very important to her. We are grateful to Bill, the Odds, and all who contributed, for carrying on this important Orcas tradition.
