The Spirit of Oakdale Community Thanksgiving dinner, while served up a little bit differently this year, remained a success. A total of 300 food boxes and 430 Thanksgiving meals were distributed by the Oakdale Lions Club on Thanksgiving Day in a drive-thru operation hosted out of the Community Center. Approximately 15 Lions Club members and 20 community volunteers gave up some time with their own families on Thanksgiving to aid in the Spirit of Oakdale annual dinner. A total of 55 turkeys were served to over 400 community members.
