Neighborhood House of Milwaukee recently invited community members to enjoy a Giving Thanks Potluck. Guests were encouraged to bring a side dish to share. The children’s only concern was that there would be enough whipped cream to go around for the pumpkin pie.

The children could make turkey-themed tea lights with googly eyes at the craft station. They also performed a dance number for the people who attended. Neighborhood House has been hosting this event consistently for the last 11 years. It was free and open to the public.

    And, where is the nearest Milwaukee County Transit System bus-stop – for those who dont drive ?

    Thank You
