Hi friends!

The Thanksgiving holiday season is soon to arrive and IFI is arranging several free Thanksgiving dinner opportunities in the local community for you to choose from. Some of these dinners will be larger group type gatherings and some will be smaller ones, with some even in local homes. Sign up to enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving meal, meet new friends, and find out what the Thanksgiving holiday is all about! Most of these dinners are occurring between November 16th to the 28th. The majority are in the evening, but some are mid-day. See more details in the sign-up form below! Your dietary preferences will be accommodated for. Transportation will be provided for those needing it. One dinner per person/family and you must attend if you sign up because your hosts will be preparing a special meal just for you!

Also, for those looking for cars, Napleton’s Auto Park in Urbana will have a cash-only Black Friday sale on November 29th for some of their used cars. Most of these cars will be in the $4,000 to $7,000 price range apparently. Call Ben Starks at (217) 651-0620 for more information and tell him you learned about it through IFI.
