Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday in the United States. In 1620, the Plymouth colonists who were seeking a new home where they could freely practice their faith and lured by the promise of prosperity and land ownership in the "New World" and the Wampanoag shared an autumn harvest feast that is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies.

For more than two centuries, days of thanksgiving were celebrated by individual colonies and states. It wasn’t until 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, that one of our greatest of all time and who shaped our country President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day to be held each November.

We had a tough November 8^th, but we do have things to be thankful for. Yavapai County remained red, and we got Congressman Eli Crane to Washington! He is already in the Freedom Caucus with Jim Jordan, Paul Gosar, Andy Biggs, Marjorie Taylor Green, Matt Goetz, Lauren Bobert, and many more patriots. And best of all we fired Nancy Pelosi!

We need to keep the faith and keep on fighting, 2024 is just around the corner when we can kick out bumbling Joe.

Have a Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving

with your Family and Friends !!

1st Christmas Tree Festival

Fundraiser A Success!

Our last fundraiser of the year is sure to bring you lots of Christmas Cheer.....

At the December luncheon, you will have an opportunity to take home your favorite displayed tree, complete with decorations, making it easy to spread the spirit of the Holiday season in your own home with little to no work.

These trees can also make great gifts for family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers.

As of this writing, the club has provided 7 trees to members who expressed interest in decorating them for display on December 6th.

This will be a silent auction, with the minimum bid for each decorated tree starting at $30. You'd spend much more than that on a tree and ornaments at any store in the area!

Standing only 3 ft tall, these trees are a great option for anyone with limited space, as well as for those who just want to add to their already elaborate Christmas decor.

Arrive at the luncheon early to enjoy the displays, and be prepared to bid on the one that delights you the most. Auction winners may take their tree home after the luncheon, or opt for delivery.

There will be no charge for local deliveries, however, if you are outside of town limits there will be a $10 extra charge.

Trees will be delivered no later than Friday, December 9th.

Cash OR Check made out to PVRW only, please.
