Civic Club Meeting – Tuesday, November 28
Tuesday, November 28 is our next Civic Club Meeting and it is our annual Holiday celebration. Please bring food and treats to share after a very short business meeting. It is a great opportunity to get to know some of the neighbors.
Thanksgiving
The holiday was set by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1939 (approved by Congress in 1941). Earlier it was the last Thursday in November as was designated by the former President Abraham Lincoln. But sometimes the last Thursday would turn out to be the fifth Thursday of the month. This falls too close to the Christmas, leaving the businesses even less than a month’s time to cope up with the two big festivals. Hence the change. But irrespective of the date of celebration the Thanksgiving Day has been observed as the national holiday since the regime of Lincoln.
