The annual
Boys and
Girls Nights
Out were
held on
consecutive
Friday
nights in
April. More
than 60
youth
participated
in each
night, and
each young

matched with
an adult

the evening.
The purpose
of the event
is to give
each young
person an
adult role
model who
will take an
interest in
them. The
evening
begins with
dinner where
the youth
and their
mentors
learn to
know each
other. Then
follows an
evening of
games,
competitive
activities,
and fun
events
capped off
with ice
cream for
all. If you

been a

welcome you
to consider
this for
next year. |
