Sixth District Councilman Dee Andrews will present the 3rd annual “Serving With A Thankful Heart” Thanksgiving luncheon and dinner on Monday, Nov. 22 at Ernest S. McBride Park, 1550 Martin Luther King, Jr. Ave. Lunch will be served from 11:30am to 2pm and dinner from 5pm to 7:30pm.
Andrews, along with community partners Long Beach Convention & Visitors Bureau, Hilton Hotels, Hyatt Hotels, and the Long Beach Yellow Cab Company, will once again host a Thanksgiving banquet. This is the third year that attendees will enjoy a free traditional Thanksgiving meal with all the trimmings served by more than 100 volunteers, including special guest servers such as City Manager Pat West and Long Beach Convention & Visitors Bureau President Steve Goodling.
“During this special holiday, I try to make sure that no one goes without a proper Thanksgiving meal,” Andrews said. “It is truly great to come together as a community and fellowship with one another in a family-style gathering. Instead of a turkey give-away, I will be feeding as many people as I possibly can. It is a blessing to provide this banquet.” Last year’s event fed more than 1200 people.
Although this is a free function, those interested in attending must RSVP before Friday, Nov. 19, at Ernest S. McBride Park or by calling Andrews’s office at (562) 570-6816.
