“56 Club” Parties – Please Read
Carefully – Please read new
chaperone requirements below.
Kids will enjoy game room activities,
and partying down to DJ music. Due to
safety concerns all children must have a
ticket to enter the party. If a ticket has
been lost, another will need to be
purchased if there are any available. The
number of children losing their tickets
has increased and has made it
unmanageable for the Recreation Staff
the night of the parties. Tickets will not
be sold on the Friday of the party, no
exceptions.
A booklet of tickets for the 3 parties will
be sold for $25 and individual tickets
will be sold for $10. As a reminder there
are a limited number of tickets, and
tickets will be sold until they are sold
out.
Parents are required to chaperone.
This is necessary due to the requirement
to have a certain number of adults per
number of children. Therefore, due to
the lack of volunteer parent chaperones
for previous parties, when purchasing a
ticket for your child you will be entered
in to a lottery when purchasing a ticket.
Parents will be picked from this lottery
to chaperone the remaining three parties.
Friday’s: April 10, May 1, and June 5
Kingston residents only. Grades: 5 and
6 only.
Time: 7:15 – 9:00pm
