HANOVER — The New Jersey Coalition for Education and Positive Choices, in partnership with Mennen Arena, is spearheading a highly acclaimed initiative, “Friday Nights at Mennen.”
This endeavor offers families, particularly children, the chance to enjoy a safe, supervised, and healthy environment while having fun with friends, all free from the influence of drugs.
Many of the scheduled nights will feature diverse themes, with the dual purpose of keeping our children entertained during a season when outdoor options are limited and fostering their curiosity in new and engaging activities.
The cost of each night will be $9.00 per person (normally $15) and includes skate rental from 7:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. while enjoying a night of music by the great DJ Earl. This program begins on Friday, January 5 and runs through Friday, March 8.
Mennen Arena has a snack bar which will be open throughout the evening.
Mennen Arena is located at 161 Hanover Avenue, Morristown.
Many of the nights will have different themes with a goal not only to entertain our children at a time of year when outdoor activities are limited, but also to create interest in activities, hobbies, and possible future career opportunities that they might not have otherwise been exposed.
Future highlights include Law Enforcement Night. Firefighter Night. Martial Arts and Fitness Night. Dance Night. Many township police departments and law enforcement agencies will be on hand to display equipment explain its purpose and most importantly, allow the youngsters to meet and greet true heroes. Photo IDs supplied by the Morris County Sheriff’s Department are free to any child who would like one. For more information click here.
