THANKSGIVING AT ALL SOULS
Each
year, the Thanksgiving Dinner gathering at All Souls is growing larger. This
year again, Inez Miller and Robin Bossert served as hosts to the grateful
gathering of families and individuals who found a joyful “family” of
celebrants to mark this most American of traditional holidays. Thanksgiving
is a day to join with family and friends to share the traditional meal dating
back to a Pilgrim feast shared with New England Indians. Those who gathered
around the Thanksgiving tables in Friendship Hall were served a delicious
version the traditional turkey and trimmings provided through the culinary
magic of Inez Miller, who spent Thanksgiving Day rushing through all of All
Soul’s three kitchens to roast the 7 turkeys 2 hens and 1 ‘tofurkey’ needed
to serve 94 guests in time for dinner at 13 tables. Musical accompaniment
was provided by Rubin Nizri. Perhaps, the record number of All Souls members
signing up this year to participate in this All Souls family holiday festivity
was the result of word-of-mouth enthusiasm by those who had attended in previous
years.
