Special needs teenagers from across Bergen County are welcome to attend a dance being held Friday, April 5, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Fair Lawn Community Center.
The Fair Lawn ADA Committee will hold its first dance for teenagers with special needs Friday at the Community Center from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Until now, the ADA Committee's bi-monthly dances had been open only to special needs adults 21 and over, but increasing demand from parents of special needs teens prompted the committee to hold an event for a younger crowd, committee co-chair Marianne Pettineo said.

The Alliance for Substance Abuse Prevention is sponsoring the dance's DJ …

The manager's budget calls for $10,000 in capital improvements to the community center arcade.
The Fair Lawn Community Center's stable of antiquated and oft out-of-service arcade games is in for a reset. The manager's budget, presented Tuesday, lays out $10,000 in capital funding to phase out the aging consoles and replace them with more modern games. “If you recall, when the Community Center was built the pinball games and all those types of things were provided by the 501(c) 3," manager Tom Metzler said Tuesday. "Well, they’re aging, and we’re budgeting to put a plan in place to start replacing some of this equipment.” Even as residents have complained about the frequently broken games that bedeck the center's second floor youth center, fixes haven't been particularly forthcoming in recent years due to budget constraints.
