FOR ARIANE AND ROB AT RAW THANKSGIVING 2019

Green Gratitude is our annual Raw Thanksgiving -- 
This year it was held on November 9 at a community center in Evanston.  As they do each year, Ariane and her husband Rob make it such a wonderful event!  
We sang this for them this year as we did in 2017!

Thanksgiving Tribute to Ariane – 
Tune: Battle Hymn of the Republic  
Sing chorus after each verse. 

Audience joins on WE THANK YOU.

We are gathered for GREEN GRATITUDE.
And having lots of fun, 
We’ve dined on dishes raw and vegan, 
Each and every one!
But we’ve one more thing to do, 
And now let’s do it, everyone!
Let’s say THANK YOU Ariane!

For all we’ve learned from you we thank you!
For all you’ve organized we thank you!
For this and so much more we thank you,
We THANK YOU Ariane!

You know she planned this evening, 
Found the space and did promotion, 
She lined up food and volunteers, 
With minimal commotion!
But you’ve only seen the surface, 
All the rest would fill an ocean!
Let’s say THANK YOU Ariane!

For all we’ve learned from you we thank you
For all you’ve organized we thank you
For this and so much more we thank you,
We thank you Ariane

In the summer in the parks, 
And on this dark November eve, 
She has built a strong community, 
That’s happy to receive, 
So many gifts of health and wellness, 
We can scarce believe, 
Let’s say THANK YOU Ariane!

For all we’ve learned from you we thank you
For all you’ve organized we thank you
For this and so much more we thank you,
We thank you Ariane

She can fight against an industry,
That spews out GMO,
She can get the people marching,
She can make a protest grow!
And when Monsanto says “Oh STOP,” 
She quickly answers "GO!"
Let’s say THANK YOU Ariane!

For all we’ve learned from you we thank you
For all you’ve organized we thank you
For this and so much more we thank you,
We thank you Ariane

This evening has been perfect,
A ThanksLIVING dream come true,
And we want to thank another one who brought it all to you!
Rob, you’ve proved that one and one can be.
A whole lot more than two!
Thank you ROB AND ARIANE!

Rob and Ariane we thank you,
Rob and Ariane we thank you,
Rob and Ariane we thank you,
Thank you Rob and Ariane!
