Contra Costa Marketplace - Nov 2016

Deb’s Dialog Editor’s Notes Join Us For Our Upcoming JULIA SMITH Fall & Winter Community Events! Veterans Day Celebration Friday, November 11th Memorial Tree Celebration Saturday, December 3rd NOVEMBER 2016 MARKETPLACECONTRACOSTA.COM 7 As you can tell by the front cover of this month’s issue, the holidays are here! The holidays are here! I just love this time of year when I get to spend more time with family. As the days get shorter and colder, we all tend to spend more time indoors with each other. It’s a time of great conversation and sharing of some great meals. I hope that all of you are able to share in these special moments with friends and family as we come upon the season. DEBORAH LUDLOW STEVENS I also want to wish our readers and advertisers alike, a Happy Thanksgiving in just a few short weeks. We all have much to be thankful for. Thanks for being a part of our community. Cheers! Deborah Can you believe it’s already November? I can’t. It’s already time to start our holiday gift giving season. In need of a hostess gift or something for that special someone? Turn to our Shop Local, Shop Pinole special section this month for some ideas. Also inside this section, we have some unique stories about Pinole. How about The Holy Ghost Festival in Pinole or Meet Pinole’s First Family. Both of these can be found in the Pinole special section that starts on page 20. As we go into the Thanksgiving season, I have personally decided to write down one thing I am thankful for each day until the end of the year. It’s just a great reminder to me about all of the wonderful things that I have and it’s also a positive way to start the day. I challenge each of you to do the same. Today, I’m thankful for this community where many organizations and volunteers are doing great things to help others. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
