In the US, today is Thanksgiving -- a day to gather with the important people in your life, share great food, and be mindful of all of the wonderful things for which one has to be thankful. 

So all of us here at Meetup HQ want to take this opportunity to thank you, the Meetup Community, for all of the great things you do to make your communities better.

Just look at all of these fantastic Thanksgiving Meetups:

American expats from London to Perth to Bangkok will be gathering this week to celebrate the holiday with fellow Americans far from home. 

Today, the Greater LA Veggie Hikers are working up an appetite with a pre-Thanksgiving hike together, while the The Seattle Vegan Meetup Group is getting together for a turkey-free feast.

Meetup Groups like the Great Southern Humanist Society are coming together to provide food for the less fortunate.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Meetup Groups everywhere are making the world a better place, one Meetup at a time.

Thank you for all of the wonderful things you do!
