Bill Cohen Sings “Songs of Gratitude”

Friends. Freedom. Food. Music. Parents. Children. Pets. Laughter. Emotions. And dozens of other things. Despite the virus, racial injustice, and many other challenges, we all have so much to be thankful for.

So join me (Bill Cohen) from 7pm to 8:30pm on Friday, November 25 as I sing a unique concert of songs that express gratitude for all that we have. It’s our ninth year for this Thanksgiving-themed concert.

“Vegan Thanksgiving Potluck at Wellness Forum Health [in Worthington],” hosted by Columbus Vegan Meetup

Thursday, November 24, 1-4pm, Wellness Forum Health, 510 E. Wilson Bridge Rd., Ste. G, Worthington, Ohio

Thanksgiving Day can be difficult to navigate through if the majority of your friends and family aren’t vegan like you. We have been challenged even finding a place that is open on Thanksgiving Day where there is a menu that is free from animal-based items.

Happily, the Wellness Forum Health is allowing us to use their space for a Vegan Thanksgiving Potluck! Please bring your favorite vegan dish to share.
