North Reading CIT Hosts Night Off in March

The Community Impact Team (CIT) is sponsoring its fifth “North Reading Night Off” on March 12, 2019. North Reading Night Off (NRNO) is an evening without any scheduled meetings, activities, homework, etc. from 5:00p.m. for both adults and youth. This initiative is in response to feedback from North Reading families that stress and the need to balance family life is a widespread concern. While we can’t change our culture with one night, we can help provide a few hours during which families can enjoy dinner and a stress-free evening together. The CIT asks support form town committees, schools, leagues and families by pledging to take the night off. Local restaurants are also offering special deals including:

Ginger Gourmet: $5 off $25 purchase
Horseshoe Grill: Free child’s meal per 1 adult entrée
Grille 19: Free appetizer per table of guests
