Verona Restaurants Offering Discounted Dinners for Family Night

The Verona Municipal Alliance Committee (VMAC) and local businesses will once again be holding Family Night, to promote quality time as a family.

“Family mealtime is an effective tool in fostering family unity and helping children and adolescents remain substance free,” said VMAC Chair Suzanne Broullon. “Dinner Does Make a Difference!”

Family Night will be on March 27 and local restaurants will offer discounts to Verona families.

“We want to thank this year's H.B. Whitehorne 2013 Family Night poster contest winners Kayla Golebieski, Jasmine Mickens and Busra Anil,” said Broullon. “The poster will be displayed in Family Night restaurants, schools, and town buildings.”

According to the VMAC website:

“Verona Family Night began in 2003 as a 'Scheduled Night to be Free of Schedules.' With the support of the Board of Education, Town Council, Recreation Department and OLL, VMAC schedules two family nights during the school year (one in March and one in October). As of 4pm on each Family Night, all meetings and activities are suspended so that families will not be interrupted. That means there are no VCC programs, school athletics or town meetings. Verona students also have a night free of homework.”

The Friends of the Verona Public Library will also be celebrating Family Night at the Verona Public Library on March 27, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Family Night at the library will feature music, games, crafts and puzzles for children from preschool to fourth grade.

Children can attend in their pajamas and enjoy milk and cookies donated by Di Paolo Bakery in Verona. 

“This is the first time the Friends will be hosting a Verona Family Night event, and the Library will be open late for this one-of-a-kind event,” said organizer and Friends member Jodi Cappello. “This is a great opportunity for families to spend Verona Family Night together having fun with others right here at our town library, which is a center of community and family activity in our town.”
