Danny's Place charges a $50 membership fee (as of February 27th, Danny's Place is offering a pro-rated membership fee of $25 for the rest of the season covering Feb. 27th - August 1st) for Acton and Boxborough youth in Grades 6 through 12 to help cover our
operating costs. We are now accepting payment for the upcoming year’s membership which runs from September 5, 2007 through the first week of August 2008.
Payments can be made online with credit card payments or directly at the center via check or cash (we can not accept
credit cards at the center).
New members must fill out a membership packet signed by a
parent or guardian and accompanied by a check or credit payment receipt for the $50 membership fee. Returning members do not
need to fill out a new packet unless personal information has changed, but must bring in a check or credit payment receipt for the $50 membership fee.
We now charge a $5 fee for non-members and guests who enter Danny's Place:
Non-members must be between 12 and 17 years old with an ID that proves their age,
and must have an ID showing they are either an Acton or Boxborough student or resident
Guests must be between 12 and 17 years old with an ID that proves their age, and
must be accompanied by a Danny's Place member.
Membership packets are available online and at the front desk of
Danny's Place.
We keep our administrative costs at a minimum by utilizing our staff of dedicated volunteers.

EVENING CLOSING POLICY
During the week, Danny's Place afternoon hours end at 6PM.
It is imperative that youth are picked up from the center by that time. If they can not be picked up by 6PM, arrangements must be made to pick up your
youth at a location other than the Merriam Building in which Danny's Place is located. This is a school administration building and youth
can not be left unattended in or around the building as staffing is minimal in the evening and should an emergency occur, there
may not be anyone available to respond. Also, parents and youth should not expect staff to provide them with a ride home.
If youth continue to loiter past the 6PM time frame, it will affect their continued admittance to the center.
IMPORTANT PARKING REGULATIONS
In order to provide unobstructed access to buses and emergency vehicles coming to the Administration Building during
the school day, there is now a
No Parking Zone in the front circle of the Administration Building. Drivers bringing students to Danny's Place must park in the Parker Damon Building (PDB)
lot or the front Visitor Spaces. Cars entering the driveway at the front of the building will be re-routed to the PDB lot. Please avoid parking in spaces
designated for staff in the PDB lot. The Acton Police will be monitoring the situation. Violators will be given one warning. Further violations will be
reported to the Acton Police who will send tickets. Tickets will need to be paid prior to the renewal of your license and registration.
We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause. Given the high incidence of cars blocking the access of buses, and in one case, emergency vehicles being
blocked, this action has become necessary.
