COMMUNITY THANKSGIVING FOOD SOLDIERS

When the Ritzville Ministerial Association hosted its Community Thanksgiving gathering on Sunday, the group served a free meal to more than 180 people. Such an undertaking requires a lot of turkey, stuffing and mashed potatoes. Accomplishing the feat was a small army of kitchen volunteers and servers including: (back row, left to right) Lisa Cox, Amy Galbreath, Rita Fryberger, Connie Sackmann and Brad Gering; (front row) Debbie Gering, Sandee Schwab, Sandy Weigand, Gaynel Gering and Dorothy Clinesmith. –Journal photo by Stephen McFadden
