ANDERSON — The Gospel Highlight Radio Broadcast 27th annual Community Thanksgiving Day dinner will be held at the Geater Center, 1611 Chase St., from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 26.
The event is in memory of the late Booker Alexander, founder; Charles Gardner and the Rev. Levert Braxton, of the now retired Heavenly Five Gospel Singers.
A full-course meal will be served, including dessert and beverage. Any person who is sick or a shut-in and would like dinner delivered on Thanksgiving Day is asked to call Lester Harris at 649-1503, Winston Lovelace, at 610-5343, or Arnetta Wilkins, at the Geater Center, between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., 648-6858.
Deliveries begin at 10:30 a.m. Dinners will be delivered throughout the day, so organizers ask that recipients be patient. It is requested that shut-in people call every year to have their name placed on the delivery order list. No delivery orders will be accepted after 3 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 24.
