The annual introductory Thanksgiving lunch for first-year elementary grades Spanish-speaking students was served at Mission Educational Center. Members, friend and wife who were there to help out were George Salet, Dick Johnson, Joe Farrah, Al Gentile, Jerry Schreier, Aaron and Jesusa Straus. Also in attendance were S. F. School Superintendent Carlos Garcia and journalists from ABC Channel 7 and S.F. Chronicle. Joe Farrah seized the opportunity and bent Garcia's ear a little bit telling him about the Lions Club's Student Speaker Contest. The students marched into the dining room wearing self-made theme hats and then put on a program of songs and essays entitled "Mr. Farmer" and "Little Turkeys," "Yo doy gracias and Thank You," Le Cosecha," and "Hello, Bonjour." Then the 140 students, in two waves, feasted on turkey, dressing, string beans, cranberry sauce, biscuits, milk, orange juice and pumpkin pie. All of the food, except the orange juice and milk, was acquired through Boston Market at a total cost of about $600 to the club. Thanks to Aaron Straus for coordinating this event and ordering the food.
