We have all kinds of parties. We have parties for special events & sports games. We have parties where we invite our friends, hope they will buy stuff and then we'll get free stuff! We have keg parties and costume parties and tea parties. If you like parties, the reasons to have one are countless. At my senior center we even have parties to celebrate the birthday of our tropical fish. I would like to suggest, on the eve of Thanksgiving, that we consider a Gratitude Party.
