Thanksgiving is an excellent time to teach children about gratefulness. By planning some fun, gratitude- themed games, you can impart a valuable lesson and spend some quality family time together. Get your kids in the holiday spirit by adding a Thanksgiving twist to these classic games. Pictionary Want to bring out your kids’creative sides? Pictionary is the perfect way to encourage artistic expression and grateful thinking. Try adding a rule where players have to draw something they’re grateful for. This will get your kids thinking beyond turkey and stuffing and give them an imaginative way to express their gratitude. Plus, who doesn’t love a good art contest? GuessWho? To play gratitude-themed Guess Who ?, have all participants write down their names and something they’re thankful for on a slip of paper and put it in a bowl. Then, at the dinner table, have each person draw

a random slip and read what it says without saying the name, while everyone else tries to guess who wrote it. While Pictionary may get your kids talking about what they are thankful for, Guess Who ? will tune them into what others around them are thankful for too. Pick-Up Sticks Like regular pick-up sticks, the goal is to remove a stick from a haphazard pile without disturbing the others. However, by using colored sticks that represent different kinds of thankfulness — such as places, people, or food— you can make players think outside the box. This will ensure you get a wide range of creative, thoughtful answers whenever the kids pick up a stick.

These modified games are great for helping your kids realize howmuch they have to be thankful for. Use these to spend some fun, educational, quality time with your family this Thanksgiving.

More of FSTN in the Community Law FirmMakes Donation to Local Health Clinic

At Fleschner, Stark, Tanoos & Newlin, we believe in giving back to our community and doing our best to always help others. We involve ourselves with multiple charitable events throughout the year and make monthly donations to various charities. We decided it was time to take our task a step further. On Sept. 30, 2019, our law firmmade a $20,000 donation to theWabash Valley Health Center (WVHC) for a major renovation and expansion of its facility located at 1436 Locust Street. The project involves a 3,600 square foot expansion, along with major interior and exterior facility/campus enhancements. Highlights of the project include but are not limited to: • The main entrance will move to the north side with patient parking being conveniently located just north of the new entrance. • The relocated entrance and parking will increase accessible parking as well as overall safety. • There will be improved ease of access from the parking lot to the main entrance as well as access into/out of the building. • Expanded waiting room capacity • Improved patient privacy throughout the clinic • Addition of 10 medical exam rooms (currently have 10) • Additional external signage to improve visibility and ease of finding the health center

Addition of a denture lab

• Addition of a fire sprinkler system throughout the entire building

Our law firm handles thousands of Social Security disability cases all over the country. We work very closely withWVHC by sending our local clients to get treatment when they can’t afford it elsewhere. In our eyes, this facility is very important in theWabash Valley, providing health care to those who have little to no income or insurance. Wabash Valley Health Center stated the following,“This project sustains our commitment to the current location in the heart of the Ryves neighborhood. The timing of the project coincides with our continued multi-year growth which has pushed the current facility near its capacity. Although our campus and facility will be undergoing a major transformation, our mission remains unchanged: Provide access to quality and affordable health care.”
