Kids Night Out:
A New Year’s Revelation
MCRD’s first Kids Night Out sleepover on New Year’s Eve was a big hit as parents and kids ushered in 2008 in a new style. Parents had the night to themselves and around 40 kids gathered at Germantown Community Center for games, activities, food and, of course, noise makers for welcoming the new year.
