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 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.

Score 6 – Pursuing Victory with HonorSM a CHARACTER COUNTS!® based program for coaches and parents. 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. Therefore, 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. Go to bloomingdaleparks.org or call the BPD at 630-5293650 to register.

We Love Parents, however . . . With your child’s best interest in mind, parents are asked not to attend their child’s class unless invited by the instructor. We have found the quality of instruction has often been affected by parent and/or sibling distractions, interruptions and various other concerns during class time. It is of equal importance that children have quality leisure time with their peers. Our instructors welcome the opportunity to discuss concerns with parents before or after class, time permitting. Thank you again for your cooperation. 21

NEWS
Letter from the President As we say good-bye to a summer spent outdoors, swimming, biking, jogging, walking and just plain enjoying the warm days and nights, let’s not forget to keep up with those activities that keep us happy and fit this fall. Included in every prescription for positive mental and physical health throughout the lifespan is the need for physical activity. Involvement in physical activity has been linked with decreases in obesity and diabetes in children and adults along with decreases in the major health issues that plague us in our later years including heart disease, cancer and dementia.
Buzz Puccio
Research indicates that one of the best ways to stay physically and mentally fit throughout our lives is to get up and move. The Bloomingdale Park District is here to help you do just that! The fall season brings about much change. Kids go back to school, the leaves begin to change and daylight gets scarce. With holidays seemingly right around the corner, it can seem impossible to find time to exercise. Before the weather gets too chilly, enjoy the outdoors with the Park District’s highly-popular Walk-to-Run program led by Park District sports injury and wellness specialist Dr. Erin Ducat. Condition yourself to race three miles safely and effectively in this 10-week program that culminates with the Sunrise Chevrolet 5K Shuffle Oct. 21 at Ballydoyle Irish Pub & Restaurant. Once the weather begins to change, turn your attention indoors and try one of our new fitness classes. Are you an early riser? The Park District now offers an abundance of early-bird classes (see pages 33-39) in addition to the Westfield Walking Track for those wishing to get a jump on the day. If you miss the open lap swim at The Oasis, try one of our aqua classes held at Hilton/Indian Lakes Resort. These programs are less stressful on your joints but just as beneficial to your health. Can’t commit to 8 weeks of exercise? In addition to the three aqua classes mentioned above, the District offers a number of other fitness classes that offer convenient drop-in rates. The fee is ideal for parents and/or working professionals who can’t always keep to a structured schedule. Check out the following pages and pick up the complete fitness schedule available now online and in the Johnston Recreation Center, and begin the journey to a healthier, fitter you!
Property Taxes Most of us have just made payment of the second installment of our property taxes for 2011. While the bill is still readily accessible, please take a look at what you actually pay for the many benefits provided by the Bloomingdale Park District. With our tax rate of .3301, I think you’ll agree with me that the value provided is one of your best buys. We still remain near the bottom of DuPage County communities in tax rate and on top of the list of activities offered. 2011 Tax Rates for Neighboring Park Districts .6787 Wheaton .3747 Addison .4691 Carol Stream .3711 Glen Ellyn .4678 Itasca .3301 Bloomingdale .4593 Roselle .2941 Medinah Sincerely, Sebastian “Buzz” Puccio President Bloomingdale Park District Board of Commissioners

Making a Difference Geri McGreevy and Augie Battaglia recently stepped down as Chair and ViceChair of the Bloomingdale Parks Foundation, capping 9+ years of volunteer service.
The two Park District residents joined the Foundation in 2003. McGreevy previously served on the Park District Board of Commissioners for 12 years (1991-2003). “I wanted to do something in the community,” said Battaglia. “My daughter was growing up and I was already volunteering for little league, and this and that. And I thought the Foundation was a great way to show my children how to be a part of the community.” The pair oversaw a number of accomplishments in their time on the Foundation, including: • Aim for the Fences, a fundraising campaign that raised over $25,000 to improve the baseball and softball complex at Springfield Park • Creation and management of a scholarship fund • Construction of the boardwalk and observation deck at the Springfield Park Wetlands • Organization of the Annual Recognition Event to honor community volunteers • Construction of the Springfield Park outdoor basketball courts • Construction of the picnic pavilion at Springfield Park • Organization of Make a Difference Day at Springfield Park, an event featuring nature activities and wetlands education The Parks Foundation and Park District thank Ms. McGreevey and Mr. Battaglia for their outstanding years of service and wish them well in their future endeavors.
The Bloomingdale Parks Foundation is an organization dedicated to helping the Park District provide great recreation programs and open space while also assisting individuals to gain access to programs, enhancing current programs and making improvements to all of BPD’s parks. The Foundation was established in 1994 as a not-for-profit organization. Its primary purpose is to develop alternate sources of funding for Bloomingdale Park District facilities and recreation programs, and to provide opportunities for all Park District participants. The Foundation holds a 501-C3 status from the IRS. The Foundation currently holds three special fundraising events per year: • Sunrise Shuffle 5K – See page 31. • Holiday Gift Wrap – Enjoy the holiday season by assisting others in wrapping gifts. Volunteer with friends or make new ones at this holiday fundraiser. • Most Valuable Volunteer Night – Volunteers for the Park District, Museum and local youth athletic organizations are honored at this annual event held in conjunction with National Night Out. Raffle baskets are donated by nominating organizations, and free food and swimming at The Oasis Water Park is provided for all!

Registration: Now- August 21, 2012 at 7PM
What is Lottery? The lottery is a computerized software program that works with the Park District registration system. On the lottery day the software program reviews each class by code number and selects those that have enrollment levels over the maximum listed in the program guide. Any program that is over enrolled is subject to the lottery. The software program then randomly selects who will be registered for the class and who will be placed on a wait list. Those placed on the wait list are then contacted by the Park District to make alternative arrangements. Those who were selected are not contacted and can assume they are in the class.
August 22, 2012 through Start of Classes

The lottery date is August 22, 2012.

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 defects, inadequate or defective equipment, inadequate supervision, instruction or officiating, and all 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.

general information Age Appropriate
MIN/MAX – What does it mean? 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
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.
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 and assessed the $5.00 administrative fee. Refunds requested after the completion of a program or after the advertised deadline will not be granted.
Wait Listing Process
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.
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.
