DCM will be serving our Thanksgiving Day Celebration from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm at St. Martin’s Episcopal Church, 640 Hawthorn Lane. This will be our 12th Annual Celebration of the Holiday. Jeff Murphy, formerly of Seasons Restaurant in Davis and Bistro Sabor in Napa, will be our guest chef. He has been cooking for us on Thanksgiving for many years. I can’t say enough of the help and dedication of our volunteers for Thanksgiving. Several families, student groups and individuals have volunteered for us continually for the past several years. They are an inspiration.

All are welcome to attend. We generally serve up to 120 individuals each year. The menu for 2015: turkey, stuffing, homemade cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, Jeff’s fabulous gravy, vegetables, blueberry crisp, pie, drinks, coffee and more.
