The Kiwanis Club of New Cassel hosted its annual Thanksgiving Day Dinner for local senior citizens and the community, at the Magnolia Gardens senior housing complex. The dinner is a tradition started in 1977, under the leadership of then-president J.V. Brown. Approximately 50 local residents enjoyed a delicious Thanksgiving meal through the event.

Kiwanis members who assisted in the event were: John Brown, Bernard Stewart, Vincent Collins, Kenneth Little, Arthur Merahn, Anthony Pizzo, Curtis Elder, Cheryl Davidson, Corliss Hawthorne, Jim Hunter, Wally Wall, and Nick Roselli.

Volunteers from the community included: Jeraldine Odom, a newcomer who is a New Cassel resident; Rose and Steve Dluginsky and Nick Roselli, Jr., who have volunteered for several years.

Donations of food were provided by the Harvest Diner, Westbury, which has donated turkeys annually.
