Under the direction of Anne Doherty, volunteers at the Loaves and Fishes Soup Kitchen served up a Christmas dinner with all the trimmings to dozens of people Christmas Day.
Santa was on hand to visit and chat with the organization’s guests, and no one left hungry.
The Loaves and Fishes, which usually runs its meals with a six-member volunteer crew, had nearly a dozen volunteers who chose to share their holiday in service to others in the Clarksville community.
About Christine Anne Piesyk 
 In my 40+ years in media, I have worked as feature writer, investigative reporter, editor, publisher, and film/theater/arts critic. I brought my liberal New England activism to Tennessee several years ago, having finally completed a mid-life undergraduate degree in community organizing and women's studies, and an MA in Interdisciplinary Arts with a concentration in Alzheimer's Disease. I served on Future Search Commissions for two colleges and on homelessness for the City of Northampton (MA), where I applied some of my undergrad work in urban planning and community development. I am a member of FreeThinkers for Peace and Civil Liberties. I am a certified storm spotter just because weather fascinates me. In my spare time (define spare time please?) I am a voracious reader, obsessive movie buff, ballroom dancer, and classical music junkie. I also create sci-fi/fantasy and renaissance costumes. I see life as an ongoing opportunity for learning and adventure (one current interest is mastering preparation of foods from India and Southeast Asia). My dream: a return trip to Machu Picchu. After all, the best things still to come. All posts by Christine Anne Piesyk as presented on Clarksville Online are copyright ©2006, 2007, 2008 to the author.
