Families with children who have special needs and their siblings are invited to attend a special evening of activities. The Commission for Disabled Citizens is sponsoring a movie-themed Community Respite Night on Friday, Feb. 21, from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Village Hall, 1900 Hassell Road. We will watch the kids while you shop, dine, or just enjoy an evening on the town. Activities will include games, crafts, a light snack and a movie. Participants should be over four years old. There is no charge for this event, but reservations are required and limited. To sign up, contact Sue Lessen before Feb. 10 by phone at 847-781-2606, or by e-mail at suzanne.lessen@hoffmanestates.org. Appropriate paperwork must be completed for the event.
