by Beth Melo on

Northborough and Southborough parents and caregivers are invited to attend (or stream) an info session in early May. The topic is the “Social Host Law”.

The session is timed to inform families in the community who might be planning to host/coordinate parties for teens celebrating upcoming milestones (or just making the most of spring and summer).
