The fourth one of those is community investment. It\u2019s important that communities work together. Parents, students, community stakeholders, all those things equal a better place for Whitley Countians,\u201d Whitley County High School Principal Bob Lawson said about the reason for the community dinner. \u201cWe\u2019d love to have everyone out. We look forward to it. We are thankful for our community. It is a great place to live.\u201d This is the fourth year for the program, which has fed more than 2,000 people so far. \u201cThe community part continues to grow. That is the most fun part. We are getting more alumni involved. It has always been designed to be a community event around the holidays,\u201d Lawson said. \u201cWe\u2019ll take as many people as we can get. We want everybody here to just enjoy each other this Thanksgiving season.\u201d Lawson said there has been a misconception by some that the event is just for the needy, which isn&#8217;t the case. \u201cIt\u2019s for everyone. We just want a sense of togetherness feel for the dinner. Some folks think it is just for the needy, but that is not just who it is for. It\u2019s for the needy. It\u2019s for everyone. Everyone come out, let\u2019s get together, eat and have a community dinner,\u201d Lawson added. The community meal is at no cost to taxpayers. A food drive is conducted in support of the program. Several ladies in the cafeteria take care of a lot of the side items, and many people will donate desserts. \u201cIt is really a great team effort,\u201d Lawson said. Lawson said that about 20-25 guys will get together and cook the turkeys outside over the course of several hours. Typically 50 \u2013 100 volunteers participate in either cooking the meal or helping serve it."}
