Nearly 100 guests enjoyed a traditional holiday feast of turkey, mashed potatoes, green beans, rolls and butter prepared by Fleet Landing chefs and served by Kiwanians as well as 20 members from the Fletcher Senior High School Key Club. Staff from the Law Offices of Rod Schloth, PA also helped serve guests, who dined on colorful Thanksgiving placemats created by K-Kids, the Kiwanis elementary school club.
