The Annual Thanksgiving Community Dinner was started by AIDS activist Scott Carlson back in 1989 to provide a communal gathering for people living with AIDS during Thanksgiving to share a meal and spend time with people who cared.
When Scott passed away, the community banded together and continued this tradition.
Former Empress and City Commissioner Julia Legaspi dedicated herself to make sure that The Court provides substantial financial and volunteer support to ensure that the Dinner is always a festive and memorable affair.
In 2004, The Imperial Court, along with The First Unitarian Universalist Church, took over the lead of securing the continuation of this wonderful tradition and named the event as the Scott Carlson Thanksgiving Community Dinner in his honor.
In 2020, Dan Ferbal was added to the name honoring his stewardship of the Rob Benzon Foundation in hosting this annual event.
