The Bloomingdale Park Board of Commissioners is the legal governing authority through which the business of the District is conducted. Park Commissioners are elected by residents of the District to a six-year term without pay. Once the Park Board meeting has adjourned, all board members return to their roles as citizens and taxpayers. It is only the Park Board, acting at a legally constituted meeting, which has the authority to establish or change policy, sign agreements or award contracts. The Park Board has appointed a professional executive director to manage the operation of the District on a daily basis. The Bloomingdale Park District Park Board typically meets the first and third Mondays of the month. Meetings begin at 7 p.m. and are held at the Johnston Recreation Center, 172 S. Circle Ave. in Bloomingdale. The public is invited to attend. Board agendas and minutes are available at www. bloomingdaleparks.org.

Athletic Association Contacts Score 6 – Pursuing Victory with HonorSM The Bloomingdale Park District is excited to show continued support for the CHARACTER COUNTS!-based certification program for coaches, parents, officials and children called Score 6. This program incorporates the six pillars of character: Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring and Citizenship into youth sports. The primary goal of the program is to build character through these six pillars while teaching the fundamentals of the sport. This program has been implemented in hopes that the main focus of youth sports is placed on fun instead of winning at all costs. We realize winning is important – to an extent. However, we need to make sure the rules of the game are followed and the players, coaches, officials and opponents are respected at all times. We need to focus more on teaching young players how to win with honor and lose with dignity and pride. The outcome is to keep the “fun” in sports! Parental involvement and cooperation are essential to the success of this program. Parents and coaches are required to attend a Score 6 meeting and sign a code of character. Athletes are not allowed to participate until at least one of their parents has attended a Score 6 meeting. The program is completely free and lasts approximately one hour. This program is designed to impact all sports programs. Once you become certified, you are not required to attend another meeting. We appreciate your cooperation with the Park District and look forward to seeing you at one of the Score 6 meetings listed below. Thank you for your continued support and remember character does count in youth sports in Bloomingdale! Parents and coaches may attend a Score 6 meeting at any time, even if they are not currently involved in a youth sport. Attendance is required for the entire session. Please visit www.bloomingdaleparks.org to register online.

The Bloomingdale Park District mission regarding youth athletics is that all participants play in a safe and fun manner, and that the leadership of each athletic organization keeps this mission in mind at all times. If you would like any information on any of the athletic organizations in Bloomingdale, please feel free to contact the respective representatives.

Summer 2013 As the weather becomes nicer, consider the Bloomingdale Park District as your number No. 1 antidote for “cabin fever.” Throughout this issue you will find activities, programs and events that are absolutely free and perfect for getting out and renewing those forgotten New Year’s resolutions. Every month you can find something for you, your spouse, your children and the whole family. From taking a free Tai Chi class on April 24 to attending National Night Out on August 6, every week offers activities to keep you moving.

The Oasis Water Park opens June 1. In addition to the usual amenities, this summer’s Opening Day also offers games, contests, giveaways and entertainment. Though admission is not free on Opening Day or any other day this summer, the water park offers several discount days and numerous special events and giveaways easily worth the inexpensive cost of admission. (Save big money by purchasing a pool pass!). Summer also brings our Summer Concert Series Tuesday nights at Old Town Park. The series is a joint effort of the Park District and the Village of Bloomingdale and has been a huge success since its inception. Come early, bring lawn chairs, a picnic dinner and refreshments, and we provide the entertainment. Yes, summer brings a myriad of choices to occupy your time. Let the Bloomingdale Park District help you fill your days and nights at very little, or no cost. On the following page, our emphasis on customer service is detailed. Along those lines, we always welcome any comments you have to offer on our facilities and programs. Recently, I discovered there is some confusion in the community regarding the facilities the Park District operates versus those operated by other agencies. Facilities operated by the Bloomingdale Park District include: • Johnston Recreation Center • The Oasis Water Park • Bloomingdale Park District Museum • 13 park sites totaling 160 acres The Park District does not own and operate Bloomingdale Golf Club nor the open land adjacent to Indian Lakes Resort/Blackhawk Trace Golf Club. They are owned and operated by the Village of Bloomingdale. If you have any questions about the Park District, please call us at (630) 529-3650 or visit us online at www.bloomingdaleparks.org. Have a great summer and I hope to see you in the parks! Sincerely, Sebastian “Buzz” Puccio President Bloomingdale Park District Board of Commissioners

The Board of Commissioners meets at 7 p.m. on the first and third Monday of each month. The public is invited to attend. Minutes and agendas are available online at www.bloomingdaleparks.org.

Where the customer is No. 1 “Where Recreation Revolves Around You!” is the official slogan of the Bloomingdale Park District. And central to that slogan is the customer. How the Park District interacts with each and every guest immensely impacts our business. When patrons are pleased with their experience, they’ll visit the Park District again, become loyal, spread the good word and keep the District on track with providing service that meets and exceeds expectations.

Customer Service Policies Customer service at the Park District begins with every full-time, parttime and/or seasonal worker attending the employee introduction program, Park Works U. In addition to welcoming workers and providing an overview, Park Works U familiarizes staff with important policies and procedures and shares the customer service policy. It also introduces workers to Character Counts!, the nation’s most widely-used character development framework. It is based on shared beliefs and consensus values called the Six Pillars of Character: Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring and Citizenship.

Rewarding Outstanding Service Staff is the key to providing courteous service. Employees who regularly practice exceptional customer service are rewarded via the District’s High Five program. When an employee observes a co-worker doing something exceptional on the job, he/she can fill out a High Five card indicating who they observed and what they were doing. Prizes are then awarded monthly, not only to the employee exhibiting outstanding service, but also to the person nominating for recognizing such service. Additionally, winners and nominations are displayed inside the Johnston Recreation Center for all to see. Another Park District program that recognizes employees who’ve gone the extra mile or made additional efforts to provide great customer service and/or sacrifice is the M&M Awards. M&M stands for meaningful and memorable. These awards are presented by department heads and the executive director. They are meant to reward creativity, dedication, innovation and/or all-around enthusiasm at the Park District.

Customer Service Task Force A fairly recent development at the BPD is the creation of the Customer Service Task Force (CSTF), which is committed to continually evaluating patrons’ experiences. Comprised of full-time staff, the CSTF also reaches out to the community via local health fairs, business expos, special events, etc. You might see CSTF representatives greeting day campers and their parents on the first day of camp, promoting the latest program or event at Stratford Square Mall, or simply asking patrons about their customer experience.

Rewarding Customers Lastly, and most importantly, the Park District rewards its customers. The aptly-named RecRewards program earns participants point while they play. The more they play, the more they earn. Participants earn one point for every dollar spent. Points do not expire and accrual of points is continuous. In addition to RecRewards, the District also offers a senior discount, early registration bonuses and double RecRewards points for certain programs. The Park District continually seeks ways to improve the customer experience. Have an idea? Drop us a note at staff1@ bloomingdaleparks.org, call us at (630) 529-3650 or simply stop by and see us at the Johnston Recreation Center.

REGISTRATION WAIVER & RELEASE - IMPORTANT INFORMATION The Bloomingdale Park District is committed to conducting its recreation programs and activities in a safe manner and holds the safety of participants in high regard. The Bloomingdale Park District continually strives to reduce such risks and insists that all participants follow safety rules and instructions that are designed to protect the participants’ safety. However, participants and parents/guardians of minors registering for the above listed programs/activities must recognize that there is an inherent risk of injury when choosing to participate in recreational activities/programs.

WAIVER AND RELEASE OF ALL CLAIMS AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK

for the activities contemplated by this agreement. It is always advisable, especially if the participant is

I recognize and acknowledge that there are certain risks of physical injury to participants in these programs, and I voluntarily agree to assume the full risk of any and all injuries, damages or loss, regardless of severity, that my minor child/ward or I may sustain as a result of said participation. I further agree to waive and relinquish all claims I or my minor child/ward may have (or accrue to me or my child/ward) as a result

before undertaking any physical activity. WARNING OF RISK Recreational activities are intended to challenge and engage the physical, mental and emotional resources of each participant. Despite careful and proper preparation, instruction, medical advice, conditioning and equipment, there is still a risk of serious injury when participating in any recreational activity. Understandably, not all hazards and dangers can be foreseen. Depending on the particular activity, participants must understand that certain risks, dangers and injuries due to inclement weather, slip and falls, poor skill level or conditioning, carelessness, horseplay, unsportsmanlike conduct, premises other circumstances inherent to indoor and outdoor recreational activities exist. In this regard, it must be recognized that it is impossible for the Bloomingdale Park District to guarantee absolute safety.

Please read this form carefully and be aware that in signing up and participating in the programs listed above, you will be expressly assuming the risk and legal liability and waiving and releasing all claims for injuries, damages or loss which you or your minor child/ward might sustain as a result of participating in any and all activities connected with and associated with these programs (including transportation services and vehicle operations, when provided).

general information Age Appropriate

For each program at the Park District, there are a minimum number of registrations needed before a class can “go.” Most teachers are paid per class period, not per student, so if not enough people register, the Park District loses money – your money. You may ask, “But why a maximum?” Basically, the more students there are, the less individualized attention participants receive. We like to keep the student/teacher ratio low to ensure that you get what you pay for: a higher quality program. The minimum number of registrations is the first number shown. The maximum is the second one shown. For example, MIN/MAX: 8/12.

Code of Conduct: Participant Guidelines

A wait list is formed when a class reaches participant levels beyond the maximum. This may occur when the lottery is completed or after the lottery depending on when the maximum is reached. The wait list is designed to maintain people in a holding area until either more spaces in the class are made or there is a drop out or transfer. The wait list is designed to offer any open spots to the next individual on the wait list by the date they first registered for the program. Thank you for your cooperation and continued patronage to the Bloomingdale Park District.

• Equal Access - No participant shall, on the basis of race, sex, creed, national origin, or disability, be denied equal access to programs, activities, services or benefits, or be limited in the exercise of any right, privilege, advantage or opportunity. • Behavior - Participants are expected to exhibit appropriate behavior at all times. The following guidelines have been developed to help make Park District programs safe and enjoyable for all participants. Additional rules may be developed for particular programs and athletic leagues as deemed necessary by staff. Participants shall: • Show respect to all participants and staff • Refrain from using foul language • Refrain from causing bodily harm to other participants or staff • Show respect for equipment, supplies and facilities. • Discipline - A positive approach will be used regarding discipline. The Bloomingdale Park District reserves the right to dismiss a participant. Each situation will be evaluated on its own merit.

Registration Notification is Not Sent to You

Program Refund Policy

Wait Listing Process

Please remember that no notification or confirmation will be sent to you after your registration. If you do not hear from us then this means you are placed on the class roster. If you are placed on a wait list we will contact you and ask if there are alternative choices that we can provide you. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about your status of your registration.

Program Cancellations Programs that do not reach the advertised minimum registration number at least three days prior to the start of the program will be cancelled due to low enrollment. Participants will be notified of the cancellation during the three days prior to the advertised start date of the program. Full refunds will be issued for programs cancelled due to low enrollment. If a program has an advertised deadline listed in the brochure description, the program will be cancelled after that date if registration has not reached the minimum. All program times and fees are subject to change.

Return Check Policy We will gladly accept personal checks as payment for registration fees. If, for any reason, a check is returned to our office marked “NSF,” we will contact you. You will then be required to submit a full cash payment, as well as a $25.00 bookkeeping fee, within a five business day period. Class privileges will be suspended and new registration will not be accepted until payment is received.

Listed with every class is an age and/or grade designation that notifies interested participants the age demographics for each class or program. This designation is necessary for several reasons. First, the class or program is specifically designed for a certain age group. Second, we have found that participants enjoy and get more out of a program when interacting with peer groups of similar ages. Third, generally people feel more comfortable around people their own age and will enjoy the program in opportunities that provide this outlet. Last, concerns of safety and fair play become issues when mixing age groups especially with youth. We thank you for your cooperation in this matter and hope you enjoy your recreational opportunities here at the Park District.

A full refund will be provided to any customer who formally requests one at least three business days prior to the first class/practice, or by the program/ trip advertised deadline. All refunds will be assessed a $5.00 administrative fee. Refunds received after the program begins will be prorated based on session dates and assessed the $5.00 administrative fee. Refunds requested after the completion of a program or after the advertised deadline will not be granted. Individual programs may have specific refund guidelines. These programs include but are not limited to Kids Place, Preschool, Schools Out!, Adult Leagues, and Day Camps. Refunds will not be granted for daily admissions, drop-in fees, KFN, tickets, exhibit hanging fees, or Oasis season passes after the pool has opened for the season. The $5.00 administrative fee will not be assessed for refunds due to low enrollment or cancelled programs, rental/party deposits, punch card refunds, or medical reasons accompanied by a physician’s note. Refund requests will be handled on a case by case basis.

Senior Discount Residents who are age 62 years of age and better qualify for the Park District’s 20% discount. You’ll know if the discount applies to a given program by looking for the price tag symbol.
