Did you know the national day of Thanksgiving was set by President Abraham Lincoln in a Proclamation dated October 3, 1863? In the middle of the Civil War he asked all citizens to come together. A part of that Proclamation states:
“…I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise…”
This year, Delta Zetas have shared that they are grateful for the following blessings in Delta Zeta:
Happy Thanksgiving from Delta Zeta!
