The FYI Thanksgiving Holiday Schedule

Team FYI is taking the last long weekend before Christmas off, so our next scheduled newsletter is a week from today. We will, however, be updating the website between if and when important news is breaking.


To our readers, thanks for following us, continue to keep us informed on your news and views, and please take time to relax and embrace family and friends on this long weekend. We know the past year and more have been taxing, and we also know how important it is to set our personal anxieties to one side and celebrate when and where we can with those closest to us.
