Around 200 early risers were treated to a delicious breakfast Nov. 22. The occasion was the 41st Annual Community Thanksgiving Breakfast, held at the Veterans Memorial Center, hosted by the Chamber of Commerce and attended by community leaders and members.

And as attendees enjoyed the spread, Sean Perlmutter of Pivotal Twist gave an inspirational talk entitled "The Strangers of Kindness" inviting all to consider how, and why to be kind, even when it seems challenging, and how to overcome those challenges.

Chamber of Commerce President Christina Alba was the master of ceremonies for the occasion. Harpist Wendy Tamis provided beautiful background music and breakfast was catered by Lavash Mediterranean Restaurant and Catering. Reverend Robin Wells of the Lafayette United Methodist Church gave an invocation and Pastor Jorge Chavez of The Living Hope Fellowship provided a benediction to close the event.
