NIGHTS OUT FOR DINNER

Our Nights Out for Dinner are a chance for individuals 18 and over with developmental disabilities and a high level of independence to get together without parents or guardians to socialize and enjoy the evening. To attend, you must first contact Donna Healey to meet with her (if you haven’t already), then register with her at either donnah@arcofburlington.org or 856-985-7345 and pay your $10 registration fee by check a week in advance of the event. Checks should be made payable to The Arc of Burlington County and sent to 115 E. Broad Street, Burlington, NJ 08016. Please put the name of the restaurant and the participant on the memo line. On the night of the dinner, bring either a check in the amount needed for that dinner or exact cash. Please make sure you have an emergency medical form on file for the dinners. Bring the form when you attend your first dinner. You may download one here.

If you’re 18 years of age and over and want to be on our future recreation event list to see what’s coming up, then just send your name and email address (individual or group) to Donna Healey at donnah@arcofburlington.org and we’ll get the ball rolling.
