Release from the Urban League of Champaign County issued at 11 p.m. Friday.
"The Board of the Urban League of Champaign County announces its decision to close the League as of November 14, 20008. The Board recognizes the import of the decision for the community and arrives at this juncture with the deepest regret over the loss of an organization devoted to equal rights and individual skill and opportunity development. It wishes to thank those agencies, organizations and governmental entities who have worked to help transition services for those citizens served by the League. It is in the best interest of the community and the clients served to maintain viable programs in settings that can adequately sustain such programming. The transfers arranged collaboratively with every agency and funding entity accomplish this important objective, a top priority of the Board.
