Knights and Squires of Katahdin Bonfire Thursday night, October 26, was our first ever team bonfire. The team members that could come were present along with their families. The bonfire included food, fun, and music. It was not to be missed, and it was a wonderful turn out. Many people came. The kids played frisbee and other things while the adults chatted. It lasted from about 5:30 to 7:30, a reasonable time to start and stop. The bonfire was a blast! ~Phoebe Wills |

GIVING TUESDAY, a day that happens each year, is considered a charitable date that falls immediately after Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday. Giving Tuesday takes place this year on Tuesday, November 28th. Touted as a "global generosity movement unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world," was founded in 2012, and facilitated donations totaling $3.1 Billion in 2022. Participating in GIVING TUESDAY could mean paying forward an act of kindness, volunteering for a cause you care about, donating blood, or giving to a nonprofit -- among many other opportunities.
