Now, our Friendsgiving Story! Back in 2018, our Mr. Mayor Perryn Peterson gave me permission to host a Thanksgiving party for Mieville.  I had been living in Mieville for a while at the invitation of Mr. Mayor who was a fan of my Bibliothèque. Attending weekly Town Hall meetings, I was impressed by Mieville's inclusiveness and friendly community spirit. It was surprising to me that there was no Thanksgiving tradition at that time. So, proposing we hold a Thanksgiving or Friendsgiving Feast became my own first real service to the Mieville community and it became an annual tradition.  

Now, here it is six years later. 

Our 6th annual Mieville Friendsgiving celebration will take place on Weds. Nov. 15 at NOON SLT — convenient for our friends in Europe and all early birds elsewhere, and again at 6:00 pm SLT, as Mieville's regularly scheduled Social Hour.  

Both Friendsgiving celebrations will be held at the Bibliothèque, where it all started. All are welcome! 

Please mark your calendars! Please watch Group Notices for more details...
