Thanksgiving 2011 at River Landing- We Welcome Back The Marines

River Landing Welcomes Marines on Thanksgiving Day

For the last three years many families within the River Landing community have been gracious enough to share their
Thanksgiving holiday with Marines from Camp Lejeune. These Marines have enjoyed home-cooked meals and a fun day
of activites including golfing, canoeing, playing basketball, or just hanging out watching football and relaxing.
Once again it’s getting close to that time of year when we have the wonderful opportunity to honor our troops with a
great Thanksgiving Day celebration in River Landing. This year we are limited to 100 Marines. Therefore, we ask that
you volunteer for no more than four in each home. In the rare event that we need to place more Marines, we will put out
the call for additional assistance. Marines travel in pairs, called the “buddy” formation, and should remain together.
For those of you who would like to participate, please contact River Landing residents Robert & Carol Steen who are
the originators of this meaningful project. They can be reached at 910-285-5745 or e-mail them at robertw@riverridge
consulting.com. You will need to provide them with your name, address, telephone number and email address.
Over the past couple of years we have had many River Landing Members and Residents, who have a full house during
the Holidays or who travel out of town, request to make contributions to help support this special day. If you would
like to make a contribution, please make a check out to River Landing specific to the Marine’s Thanksgiving and drop
it off to Sabrina Lewis, Activities Director, at the Fitness Center.

Thanks for your support the past three years. We look forward to Thanksgiving this year with our “borrowed” children.
