Thank you for making this year's Taste of North Andover
event so successful!   We hope everyone enjoyed the evening!

In 1988, North Andover Youth Services was established through a state grant of $15,000 that was matched by funds from North Andover residents and businesses. NAYRS began as a one-year pilot program whose purpose was as an information and referral center for high-risk teens in town. Now, 20 years later, North Andover Youth & Recreation Services is a vital part of the town. The program serves over 2,500 middle-school and high-school aged young people.

Saturday, February 27 will be the 2nd Annual Joseph N. Hermann Youth Center "Taste of North Andover" event.   We celebrate over 20 years of  volunteerism in our community.   Last year's event was a huge success and sold out.

The evening will be a fun social event with the following and more:

• Sample foods from some of the best restaurants in Town.
• Awards ceremony as we recognize members of our community who have made significant efforts to bring our youth center to completion.
• A DJ with great music
• Exciting Silent and Live Auction items up for bid with all proceeds going to the youth center.
• A fun setting as we turned the youth center into a celebration zone for one night.
• Last year was a very special occasion celebrating 20 years.   Each year is special but this year there is much less focus on speeches and much more focus on socializing and having fun.
