“Oh give Thanks!” Family Harvest Dinner
“Come Lord Jesus be our guest” reverberated throughout the dining room on Saturday as families said grace. Heritage of Emerson hosted its annual Family Harvest Dinner on Saturday, November 12th. Residents hosted their families for a traditional Thanksgiving style dinner. For many of the residents it’s like “Thankful Christmas.” The families are able to gather for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Some of whom travel more than 100 miles to spend this day together. It may be the only time that the entire family gathers over the busy Thanksgiving and Christmas season. It allows time to relive old memories while creating a few new ones. Quadrupling in size for the day the event is carefully instrumented in seating families together, and incorporating smaller groups with each other to have great conversation. Serving the meal and keeping the coffee cups full was no problem as the Heritage of Emerson Team topped off the day with their excellent hospitality skills
