Maybe all year you�ve been meaning to send a thank-you card and never got around to it. Or maybe what someone did for you was so special, so above and beyond the call of duty, the act deserves a more public tribute.
Well, here�s your chance.
In honor of the Thanksgiving holiday, The Salem News is inviting readers to say �thank you� for a good deed. Did this person bring you a meal when your kids were sick? Did they give you a ride to the airport on a snowy February day? Did they let you swim in their pool all summer long, or change a flat tire?
Please keep your thank-yous to 50 words or fewer and send to sflynn@salemnews.com or to The Salem News, 32 Dunham Road, Beverly, MA 01915. We will run as many submissions as possible on Thanksgiving Day. If you have a photo illustrating the good deed, please send it along to the same address. Deadline is Nov. 20.
