The American Chamber of Commerce in Luxembourg (AMCHAM) has announced details of its annual Thankggiving Dinner that is being held on Friday 18 November @ 19:00 @ Le Royal Hotel (12 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg).

Join AMCHAM for a relaxed and gently inspiring sharing of food and friendship! And bring your dancing shoes to dance the night away. As always, there will be traditional Thanksgiving tombola prizes.

Thanksgiving is one of the oldest celebrated festivals in the history of mankind. Since thousands of years before the birth of Christ the festival of the harvest has been celebrated by the earliest agricultural communities stretching from Egypt through India to China by the native inhabitants of North and South America and by our European forbearers throughout Europe, the Nordic countries and Russia.

The modern version of Thanksgiving we celebrate comes from the pilgrims who were saved from starvation by local Indian tribes in New England. This is indeed the most American of holidays, a time to celebrate with family and friends the success and the good luck that we all share.

Cost: €95 (non-members €120). Registration online at www.amcham.lu
