Youth Recreation Fund Scholarships & Donations

apleaforhelp ...so that all cleveland heights children may play

The Recreation Advisory Board is asking for your help. Since its inception 12 years ago, the Youth Recreation Fund, a scholarship program administered by the Board, has provided over 2,000 deserving Cleveland Heights children the opportunity to participate in the sports and recreation programs the City has to offer. Over the years, children have learned to swim, skate, master a new sport, become part of a team and more. For some, without the help of the Youth Recreation Fund, that would not have been possible. However, the need for scholarships during these difficult economic times has become so great that the Youth Recreation Fund has been nearly depleted. We ask you to consider donating to this important cause. Please note that 100% of all donations go toward scholarships. Take a moment to remember what it was like when you hit your first home run or made your first goal. Or when you watched your own child develop her basketball skills and learn what teamwork was all about. Imagine the self-esteem and confidence building in a boy or girl as they work to achieve the next level in their karate class. You can help make that possible for a young Cleveland Heights resident. Donations to the fund are tax deductible and may be made to the general scholarship fund or to a specific activity. Donations for specific individuals are allowed, but they are not tax-deductible. Checks should be made payable to the City of Cleveland Heights and mailed to: Youth Recreation Fund, City of Cleveland Heights, 40 Severance Circle, Cleveland Heights, Ohio 44118

REGISTRATION REMINDERS 1. You must present your I.D. card in order to re ceive reduced rates on lessons. 2. Classes canceled due to inclement weather can not be rescheduled. 3. Classes with insufficient enrollment may be can celed or combined with other classes. 4. It is important to register early to prevent cancel lations and to insure proper instructor to student ratios. 5. Registration will not be accepted after the sec ond class. 6. Although no make-up lessons are available for those who miss a lesson (please note: between 100 - 300 skaters participate in each learn-to- skate session), ask for Judy Gruehl or an instructor to help find a make-up option. A complete schedule of Learn-to-skate classes is available at the Community Center registration desk, ice rink counters, and online. Classes are once a week for 30 minutes.

OFF

Any Learn-to-Skate Class Must Present At Time Of Registration Not valid with any other offers. Expires 7/1/13

Note: Four or five lessons may not be enough class time for your skater to master the skills required to pass. It may take more than one session to pass all skills. We suggest bringing your skater to a public skate or two between lessons to practice or schedule a private lesson with an instructor to help your skaters chances of passing on the first try. Another option is to register your child for two classes per week, rather than just one, ensuring them more ice time and instruction. Note: Tots must wear knitted hats and mittens or gloves to all classes. Warm clothing is advised (but bulky â&#x20AC;&#x153;leggingsâ&#x20AC;? are hard to move in).
