The Comanche Nation Elderly Center held its annual Thanksgiving dinner on Nov. 16, at the Comanche Elder Center in Lawton, Oklahoma. A total of 220 people were in attendance. The Elder Center also made home deliveries of the Thanksgiving meal. Children from the Comanche Nation Lawton Daycare, “Numunu Turetu,” provided entertainment for the elders, by singing several songs. The children were given gifts as appreciation. The event was a blessing, giving elders a chance to fellowship and visit with family and friends.
