IFS Dinner & A Movie: When Harry Met Sally

You know, one of the best things about New Year’s Eve—besides the champagne and midnight kisses—is the chance to remind ourselves of what matters most: love, friendship, and a little bit of humor to get through it all. And what better way to ring in the New Year than with the timeless classic When Harry Met Sally?

This December 31st, join us for an unforgettable evening of food, film, and that spark of magic only New Year’s Eve can bring. We’re setting the stage for romance and laughter with a three-course meal by Idaho Provisions served at 6:30pm, complete with a glass of sparkling wine to toast to new beginnings. Whether you’re bringing a date, a friend, or simply your love for great movies, it’s going to be a night to savor.

Once we’ve wined and dined, the lights dim, and at 8 PM sharp, the incomparable Harry Burns and Sally Albright.

Tickets are $65 ($60 for members) and include the three-course meal + a glass of bubbly, and of course, the film!

As Harry might say, "When you realize you want to spend the New Year at this event, you want it to happen as soon as possible!"

His passion will forever be part of our community.

After the screening, Peter will join us for an exclusive Q&A session, sharing behind-the-scenes stories and holiday memories from this timeless classic. Experience the charm of A Christmas Story like never before—on glorious 35mm film.
