Public support could bring back 33-year-old
event that was cancelled abruptly Friday

For the first time in 33 years, the community thanksgiving dinner in La Crosse was cancelled last Friday.

Now, things are looking up. The dinner could still happen.

Since its cancellation, because of planning difficulties, there has been an outpouring of community support, according to spokesman Tom Rand.

Speaking on AM 1410 WIZM this morning, Rand said the committee is being polled today to determine whether the dinner can go ahead as planned. 

Rand said many people have offered to join the planning committee. A shortage of committee members had been cited as a major reason for calling off the yearly gathering.

    One may not need a translation here to understand this
    universal language of sex. Out of the wide range of choices and options we have for Halloween costumes from
    the most popular such as Shrek, Toy Story and Alice in Wonderland
    I have to say my personal favourite types are, the costumes you can get from Tim Burton’s Movies.
    But thanks to a few people, my experience turned as sour as it can get.

    Social media is usually a completely media, but it’s still precisely the same basic table manners
    that the parents taught. Christian web 2 . 0 sites include
    the new wave of online community, mixing religion along with the modern types of technology to create people together.
