inForney.com sets up meet and greets to assist Kickapoo Trace businesses

Mathew and Taylor Richards created inForney.com to help Forney residents stay connected with each other and informed about what is happening in our community. Holding monthly meet and greets is a great way for inForney.com members to get to know each other. For the week of March 12-17 there will be three special get-togethers to show support for the Kickapoo Trace Center businesses who are dealing with a major intersection closure during spring break.

Mathew Richards said, “We come to the Kickapoo Trace businesses so much already that we have built a bond and friendship with them. We want to do our part to bring customers out there. Any little bit will help, especially during the time the intersection at FM 548 and FM 741 is closed.”

The “inForney.com Meet and Greet” schedule is as follows:

Monday March 12, 2012 from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. @ Dippin' Dave's Ice Cream Shoppe

Taylor Richards ordered a special inForney.com cake from local Yum-Yum Bakery and everyone is invited to join in the kid friendly event. There will be a giveaway of a $25 gift card to Dippin' Dave's. Dippin' Dave's has a collection box for a local church that provides resume services, as well as a clothing bank to help the less fortunate obtain employment. They also provide temporary food assistance to families in need. You are welcome to bring donations of gently worn clothes and non-perishable food items for the event, and as a thank you the ice cream shop will give you 10% off your entire bill.

Friday, March 16, 2012 from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. @ Quattro Tasti

This delicious deli is making a special Reuben sandwich during St. Patrick's Day week. Come out to the inForney.com meet and greet and try the Reuben or any number of great sandwiches and soups. There will be a special giveaway of a $25 Quattro Tasti gift certificate to one lucky member.

Saturday, March 17, 2012 from 8:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. @ The Hole Thing Donuts and Lazy J Coffee

The third meet and greet of the week will begin at The Hole Thing Donuts and then the group will move over to Lazy J Coffee. There will be both a $25 THT gift card giveaway and a $25 Lazy J Coffee gift card giveaway at the event. It is a perfect way to spend a Saturday morning!

Mathew Richards said, “I'm looking forward to building relationships with the inForney.com members. I think it will help create a sense of community in which we can all become friends, shake hands, and share some laughs.” He invites all members and those who are interested in joining inForney.com to come out to any or all of the meet and greets. It is free to join inForney.com and as their mission statement says, Our goal is to make inForney.com a place where old friends re-connect and new friends are made. Whether you are new to Forney or you have lived here your whole life---you are welcome at inForney.com.”
