- Dawsonville Rotary Community Thanksgiving Dinner – On Monday, Nov. 22, 2021, the Rotary Club of Dawson County will host a free drive-through Thanksgiving dinner open to all in the community. While the annual dinner is typically a community gathering where citizens can sit and eat together, it will be a little different again this year due to COVID-19. Attendees will remain in their vehicles and drive through the line. They will be asked how many meals they need, and the meals will be loaded into their cars for them to take home to enjoy. All meals will be served to-go and ready-to-eat, with no further preparation or heating required. The event will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Veteran’s Memorial Park gymnasium. The menu will consist of turkey, ham, dressing, gravy, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, rolls, and dessert.
