Firefly Thanksgiving Dinner

Come on by to have Thanksgiving dinner with the Fireflies and our friends. Everyone should have a place to get a good turkey dinner. We'll bust out the games and spend the day milling around together. Invite your friends or your family members to come along! As we sit down to give thanks for the abundance we have received as a community, Iris will unveil the Charter of Compassion. This has been an international effort to affirm a doctrine that teaches compassion for other people above all else. http://charterforcompassion.org/ If you haven't been to the covenstead yet, it may be a little tricky to get there. But, our philosophy is that once you get there the first time, it will be easy from then on out. Visit http://www.fireflyacademy.org/covenstead.html for instructions on parking and getting into the building. If you want directions on how to get there, send me a message and let me know where you are coming from. Iris and Elizabeth will cook the turkey. We would love for each person to bring a dish to share. We would appreciate mashed potatoes, dressing, vegetables, fruits, and other dishes. Drinks and appetizers/snacks are also apprciated. When you RSVP, please leave your dish selection in the comment section, so that we prevent duplicates. At our request if you would be kind enough to make foods with soy butter (such as Smart Balance), and to use as little milk/dairy as possible, as Elizabeth has some moderate food allergies and Iris is vegan (but will eat turkey on this day only). If you do include butter or dairy foods, please let us know when you arrive, so that we can avoid them all together.
