Thousands Thankful for Turkey Dinner at the Santa Cruz Civic

These pictures are worth millions of words...Thousands of people turned out to the Friends of Thanksgiving dinner at the Santa Cruz Civic.

People got meals, clothes, music, friendship. Some big names served food, including Vice Mayor Lynn Robinson, City Councilman Micah Posner, County Master Politician and cheerleader Fred Keeley.

Steve Pleich was one of the organizers, who really got this going after a year off because of lack of support. The community really came around this time.

Sponsors included S. Martinelli & Co., Pacific Cookie Co., New Leaf, Whole Foods, Shopper's Corner, Trader Joe's, Staff of Life. Santos Majano, head chef of Soif Restaurant and Wine Bar, and Mikey Adams, of Ecopia Farms, supervised the meal.
