Golden K’ers, In this month of November we all look forward to the Thanksgiving holiday, remembering in a special way as we share that day with family and friends all of the blessings we have. Among the things I am thankful for are the relationships Deanna and I have developed through Golden K. This club…each of you…are one of the reasons I say, Thanks !. . . Mike
Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence.
