The Importance of Being Thankful
The tradition of a yearly Thanksgiving feast did not become official until President George Washington declared that the nation would celebrate with a day of Thanksgiving on November 26, 1789.
President Abraham Lincoln wrote a proclamation declaring that all states in the union would celebrate the day in 1863.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed a resolution from Congress on December 26, 1941 that moved the official date of Thanksgiving from the last Thursday in November to the fourth.
John F. Kennedy
"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them."
As the Parent Training and Information Center and Family to Family Center, we are thankful for the opportunities we have working with families of children and individuals with disabilities and long-term health care needs. We are also thankful for partnerships we have with other agencies and support systems. Connecting family to resources and supports is what we are all about.
Together we can do more for families in South Dakota.
Theodore Roosevelt
"Let us remember that, as much has been given us, much will be expected from us, and that true homage comes from the heart as well as from the lips, and shows itself in deeds."
