Each Holiday Season we reflect on our gifts and the special things that we share with others. Here at the Department of Parks and Recreation we are particularly thankful for the many wonderful programs and instructors that offer Moorestown residents recreational opportunities. This year, once again, the Department of Parks and Recreation is thankful for the dedicated volunteers who facilitate the Family Support Outing — Special Needs Holiday Party.
The Department of Parks and Recreation is pleased to support and sponsor this annual holiday party which has become a mainstay of the holidays for many local families. Darlene Altschuler works diligently with the department and many volunteers to provide a fun-filled afternoon of holiday cheer and activity for individuals with special needs, and their families. Each year, this holiday party grows in attendance and is filled with creative and exciting activities for all who attend. Holiday crafts and projects will be available to all who wish to create something to commemorate the fun afternoon.
The Special Needs Holiday party will be on Sunday, Dec. 13 from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Church Street Recreation Center. A disc jockey will be onsite with plenty of holiday melodies and cheer. There will be food and drinks and even a special Holiday visitor. The famous jolly, old elf will make his way into the party and distribute gifts to each child in the spirit of holiday giving. This event is open to individuals as well as group homes that provide services to individuals with special needs.
There is still time to register, but hurry, there are only a few more days.
The Special Needs Holiday Party is scheduled for Dec. 13 and registration is online at www.moorestownrec.com or via the township website at www.moorestown.nj.us/365/Winter-Special-Needs-Programs. This wonderful party is only $3 per person or $10 per family. Attendees are asked to bring a side dish or dessert to share. Group homes are asked to contact coordinator Darlene Altschuler at salt27@comcast.net or (856) 235–7076.
This holiday season, we wish all families, the best the season has to offer. We hope that those individuals with special needs and their families will join us to celebrate the joy and hope of the season with the Annual Special Needs Holiday Party. Season’s Greetings!
