: 

I'd like to wish you a wonderful, warm (despite the dropping mercury) Thanksgiving.

I also want to  express my deepest gratitude to all of you who have blessed PortSide in so many ways this year. We have benefited from an outpouring of people giving funds, time, passion, labor, ideas, skills, designs and love. It's been coming from all sides, including 4-year old Ivy who donated some of her toys to our TankerTots play area "because she loves the Mary ship," as her mother said.
