WELCOME to the

International Thanksgiving

LuncheonSponsored by the OIPS and ELI

As we give

thanks, we will pause

to

remember…

how

fortunate we are.

While we feast today

many people in the world

are HUNGRY

So, WHERE are people

HUNGRY?

Everywhere

And Yes, In the United

States too…

Our HELP can come in many ways…

What can be done?

How can you “lend a hand”

Give to those who need (offer your money,

food, time)

Promise not to

wasteShop wisely

Eat consciously

Never waste

THINK about your portions,

Serve only what you can eat!

Do not waste water

Today, more than One Billion people DO NOT have

clean drinkable

water

So, today we askYou…

…to be more sensitive of the suffering in the

world.…to be thankful for and responsible with what you have

AND

…to take only what you can eat at today’s

meal,

then CLEAN your plate and EMPTY your glass.

This will be your act of Thanks

So, Let’s Celebrate!But FIRST,

WHO will Carve the ?

Look under your Chair…if you’re the TURKEY,

YOU WIN!
