Thanksgiving

In the USA Thanksgiving falls on the 4th Thursday in November.

Because we are ahead (in time) of the rest of the world (except Fiji I think) while we are having a TGIF, Americans will be tucking into

Or maybe

According to wikipedia Thanksgiving started in America in 1565 with the Spaniards who gave thanks to God when they first arrived at what is now St Augustine, Florida.

In 1619 the first 'official' Thanksgiving was held at Berkely Plantation in Virginia.

In 1621 the Pilgrims who had colonised Plymouth were taught how to catch eel and grow corn by Squanto, a Patuxet Native American who resided with the Wampanoag tribe. The Pilgrims set apart a day to celebrate at Plymouth immediately after their first harvest.

How brilliant we are at communication.

• How have we communicated this year?

• How well have we communicated this year?

Add a comment with some examples and thoughts on communication and how great we are at it.

Or, maybe an example of some communication gone wrong.

Here's my 2 cents worth:

The reference staff are members of a OT Postgrad Blackboard discussion group. The aim was to have one place where OT postgrads (most of them aren't in Dunedin) could communicate and discuss issues. We had hoped many of the questions that we get over and over could be addressed in one shot. But it has also raised our profile with off-campus OT students.
