The dinner is prepared and donated by Fred Regal and his family of Regal Catering in honor of Fred’s mother. We thank them for their generosity. Also thank you to the Congregational Church for their hospitality.

IMPORTANT: You have to make reservations! We have limited space. To make reservations (or to cancel, or for questions) send an e-mail to herta.matteson@ria-minnesota.org or call Herta at 280-8319 (not after 9 pm!). If you can’t come, please cancel – we usually have a waiting list and somebody else can come in your place.  We need the names and country of origin of all guests in the reservation. If you have a musical or performance talent you want to share, let us know!

Please be punctual as a courtesy to others, this is a festive sit-down dinner. We want guests to socialize and meet each other in the spirit of Thanksgiving,  so plan on staying a while after dinner (even though it’s lunch time, it is a full dinner! It’s the tradition).
