Adult Game nights - Leafye Pante - An evening of board games, for adults, to get together and enjoy. There will be a selection of games available to choose from, and people can bring a game to share. Drop in for an hour or the evening. No pre-registration required. People can bring their own snacks/drinks. I would like to gauge interest for future game nights to offer organized groups for specific game(s), organized snacks, or other ideas people may have. Looking for a location that will allow space for small groups and multiple games to be setup. Start date TBD.

The Town will assess whether the request for reasonable accommodation is necessary to make the Town service, program, or activity available to an individual with a disability; whether there is an alternative accommodation which may provide an equivalent level of access and/or benefit; whether the requested reasonable accommodation would impose an undue financial or administrative burden; or whether the requested reasonable accommodation would require a fundamental alteration in the nature of the Town service, program or activity.
