On Thanksgiving morning I’ll help to deliver some of 700 *complete* turkey dinners to those on the Island who otherwise might not have one.  We are celebrating our 26th year since this nonprofit community event was founded in 1999 by Tom Arhontas, who had a special place in his heart for people in need.Click HERE  to share in the spirit of volunteer giving, check out the story, photos and videos of what we do and how we do it here on our Island.You’re always invited: “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, would you subscribe, share a 5-star rating + nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, and join us next time!Meanwhile, stop by my Quarter Moon Story Arts website to:✓ Check out What I Offer,✓ Arrange your Story Session,✓ Stay current with Diane as “Wyzga on Words” on Substack and on LinkedIn Stories From Women Who Walk Production TeamPodcaster: Diane F Wyzga & Quarter Moon Story ArtsMusic: Mer’s Waltz from Crossing the Waters by Steve Schuch & Night Heron MusicAll content and image © 2019 to Present Quarter Moon Story Arts.
