Urbana High volunteers give reasons to offer thanks

URBANA – Got gobble?

If not, then Urbana High School students have a plan to fill your Thanksgiving calendar, at the UHS Student Senate's 37th annual Thanksgiving dinner.

The free meal – held from 5 to 7 p.m. at UHS – is open to everyone, from University of Illinois international students to elderly folks to anyone looking for a place that's "friendly, warm, inviting," said Yvonne Alvarez-Cortes, a UHS Spanish teacher and student senate adviser. The turnout, she said, is always "extremely diverse."
