CONVENTION TIP of the DAY for Friday, May 10, 2024 - Let’s Talk about Food!

Let's Talk about Food!

If you are currently working on your Convention agenda and are looking for a great place to eat, consider dining at one of the several restaurants that have agreed to host a Dine-to-Donate fundraising event! Or, if you are looking for a fun place to work off some convention energy, consider adding Sky Zone to your convention agenda. By simply bringing in the Dine-to-Donate flyer or using the unique promo code at the online checkout, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Illinois Foundation FFA.
