Ben Franklin Dinner at ARN

Emily hosted a dinner for the Central Indiana Community Foundation's Ben Franklin Funds initiative!

The foundation's website explains the funds:

INTRODUCING CICF’S BEN FRANKLIN FUNDS

In celebration of The Indianapolis Foundation’s 100th anniversary, CICF is creating two special funds modeled on Franklin’s endowment. Both are designed to harness the power of compound interest in order to help our community for many years to come.

100 DINNERS

Donors of both clubs will be invited to participate in an exclusive evening of 100 Dinners
The host may have the dinner in their home, a restaurant, a park, or anywhere else. No two dinners will be the same. Over dinner, you will have the unique opportunity to meet other people who love the Circle City as much as you do. Everyone will share their stories, wishes and dreams for the future of Indianapolis.


The night had finally arrived, and we were so excited to meet other leaders of the community!
What will your legacy be in 100 years?


The table was set and Rick's Cooking School was on hand to cater the meal!


The dessert and thank you gift were My Little Pies from Zionsville's My Sugar Pie.
The Indiana State Fair winning recipe for cream pie was a hit!


The Indiana themed dinner got underway with gazpacho soup.
Then we moved on to corn confetti salad and chicken/potato kabobs with avocado cream dressing.


The attendees had a wonderful time sharing their dreams for the future of Indianapolis.

Our wish list included better public transportation, a focus on education and removing the stigma of associate's or training programs, connecting all people of the community, and having all voices heard and represented.


We capped off the night with some wine and toasted to the many people who make our city great!
What a wonderful evening!
