DEERFIELD PARK DISTRICT BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS

Dear Neighbors,

As we welcome winter 2025, we’re excited to bring you a season filled with engaging activities and updates from the Deerfield Park District! First, an update on the Jewett Park Phase 2 Renovation Project. While we were aiming for completion by the end of September, the project is running slightly behind schedule, with an expected finish in early November. A portion of the northeast section of the park, including granite pathways and native plantings, is already complete and will be open to the public in the first week of October. The picnic and band shelters, along with the playground and Challenge Course equipment, have been installed, and we are now awaiting the installation of rubber and synthetic turf safety surfacing. Additionally, the family game area and shade structures are ready, with final concrete surfacing for the ADA ramp and sidewalks in the northwest section to follow soon. Now, let's dive into the exciting activities we have lined up this winter! Ring in the new year early at our Noon Year’s Eve Party on December 31, from 10:45 AM to 12:00 PM for kids ages 4-8 with adults. Celebrate with a DJ, dance party, and a balloon drop at noon! Looking ahead, mark your calendars for our annual Sweetheart Dance on February 7— an evening of dancing and making memories (see page 9 for details).

At the Sachs Recreation Center, we’re kicking off the year with an Open House from January 7-9, 10 AM to 7 PM, and January 11, 10 AM to 2 PM. Stop by for facility tours and exciting specials for prospective members and guests. Don’t miss our Indoor Triathlon featuring a 10-minute swim, 20-minute cycle bike, and 15-minute run/walk (details on page 7). We’re also offering a special Personal Training Deal—25% off three 60-minute sessions (see page 6), perfect for starting your fitness journey this winter!

Over at the Patty Turner Center, we have a variety of daytime programs and new night and weekend activities for all ages. Join us for the PTC Members Winter Party on December 12, featuring dinner and live music by Eddie Harrison and Paris Swing. Our Chicago Showcase series will bring live music from Big Brothers Vinyl on January 22, Class of ’68 on February 19, and Rollover on March 19. Don’t miss Wild Night on February 2 for a fun-filled evening of pizza, crafts, dancing, and an interactive reptile show for adults with kids. On February 28, join the Neon Dance Party with Glitzy Girlz for a night of neon makeovers, crafts, and a retro lights dance party. For a delicious time, come to the 5-Alarm Chili Bowl Luncheon on February 14, hosted by the Deerfield-Bannockburn Fire Department. We also have our Big Band Sound of Deerfield concert, Swingin’ Into Spring!, on March 2. For a family-friendly event, bring your little ones to our Drive-In on March 7, where kids can design their own "car" to sit in during the movie. And be sure to follow the rainbow to the Shamrock Hunt on March 15 for a magical experience! See the Events on pages 10-13 for more details.

Golfers can look forward to exciting opportunities at the Deerfield Golf Club in 2025. Apply for Weekend Permanent Tee Times and join one of our leagues: the Monday Evening 18-hole 2-player League (3:10-4:30 PM), the Tuesday Morning Women’s 18-hole League (7-8 AM start), or the Wednesday Evening 9-hole 2-player League (4:10-5:10 PM).

And don’t forget to stop by the golf course Tap House for Game Day specials during every Bears game! See pages 42-43

Finally, Deerfield Family Theater’s production of Our Town by Thornton Wilder, directed by Dan Taube, is a must-see. Performances will be held April 4 - 13. See page 15 for more details.

Stay cozy, stay active, and we look forward to seeing you this season! Board of Commissioners

Deerfield Park District Welcomes New Executive Director, Annemarie Flaherty

The Deerfield Park District is thrilled to announce the appointment of Annemarie Flaherty as its new Executive Director. With a lifelong passion for parks and recreation, Annemarie brings a wealth of experience and a hands-on approach to her new role.

Annemarie’s career in parks and recreation began at the age of 13 with her first job as a swim aide. She quickly advanced through various roles, including lifeguard and front desk staff, laying a strong foundation for her leadership. At the Arlington Heights Park District, Annemarie spent nearly seven years in key positions such as Recreation Supervisor, Lake & Athletic Supervisor, and Athletic Director.

These early experiences equipped Annemarie with the leadership skills necessary for executive roles. Most recently, she served as the Executive Director of the Norridge Park District. Prior to that, she gained her first executive experience as Executive Director of the Agoura Hills/ Calabasas Community Center JPA in California.

Annemarie was drawn to the Deerfield Park District by its diverse facilities and programs, as well as the energetic and

caring staff. "The community’s strong participation and value placed on parks and recreation made this position incredibly appealing," she says.

Looking ahead, Annemarie envisions the Deerfield Park District continuing to strengthen and expand its programs, facilities, and parks. Her top priorities in the coming months include ensuring a smooth transition, getting to know the district and its team members, and engaging with community partners and residents.

Annemarie’s leadership style is characterized by flexibility and strength, tailored to meet the needs of each individual and situation. She believes in the power of teamwork, stating, "The team, my co-workers, are my greatest strength as a leader—together, we are stronger."

With hands-on experience in every aspect of park district operations, Annemarie is well-equipped to lead the Deerfield Park District. From managing events and facilities to overseeing construction projects and complex HR activities, her comprehensive knowledge will be invaluable in her new role.

Annemarie plans to engage with staff, volunteers, and the community on a personal level, taking the time to listen, observe, and understand their needs. "I hope to connect with everyone in person—at events, programs, and facilities—to better support them and the community," she shares.

"I am very excited to be a part of the Deerfield Park District and look forward to working together with the park board, staff, volunteers, community partners, and residents, ensuring each day is a wonderful day at the park," Annemarie says.

The Deerfield Park District is confident that under Annemarie’s leadership, the district will continue to thrive and provide exceptional services to the community. Please join us in welcoming Annemarie Flaherty to the Deerfield Park District!

COME CELEBRATE OUR EXTRAORDINARY, ORDINARY LIVES!

Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer Prize winning play, Our Town, takes us on a trip to Grover’s Corners where we are reminded about the importance of appreciating the life we have and the people with whom we share it. This beloved American masterpiece, one of the most powerful and relevant American plays of all time, reminds us to celebrate love, family, community, and the beauty in the ordinary. As the play unfolds, we ask ourselves, “Do any of us ever realize life while we live it? Or do we take life for granted and overlook its wonder?” Let’s join together as we reflect on who we are, who we hope to be and how intimately we are intertwined.

Yes. Online registration works in real time, so, as soon as you complete the payment process and get a confirmation email your enrollment is confirmed. If a class is full, you may join the wait list online.

PROGRAM CANCELLATION

PLEASE REGISTER EARLY! If enough participants are not registered, classes may be canceled. Those waiting until the last minute or for the first day of class may find it’s too late.

• Read the registration form carefully and fill it out completely, including class names, activity code numbers and sections.

• Once a registration form is turned in, it cannot be changed.

• When registering, provide details about medical condition(s) that require staff attention.

• If you fax in your form, please do not send a duplicate by mail.

• Payment may be made by check or Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express credit cards. If paying by credit card, make sure the card number, expiration date and cardholder’s signature are completed and legible on the registration form.

WAITING LISTS

If you select a class and it’s full, you will be put on a waiting list. We will notify you of all class placements, cancellations, and/or changes.

PRIORITY REGISTRATION FOR RESIDENTS

People who live within the boundaries of the Deerfield Park District always have first priority in our registration process. However, having a Deerfield address does not always mean that you are a resident of our Park District.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

Financial assistance may be available to assist Deerfield Park District residents who are experiencing difficulty paying program fees. For more information call 847-945-0650.

RESIDENT & SPECIAL SCHOOL DISTRICT #109 AND #113 RATES

Resident rates will apply to those who live within the park district boundaries. If a participant does not live within the park district boundaries but enrolls in a program that is held at a District 109 or 113 school and they reside in that school district, then they pay the resident rate, but cannot begin to register until the non-resident registration date.

PROOF OF RESIDENCY

To receive “Resident” rates and priority in registration, you are required to show proof of residency your first time enrolling for a Deerfield Park District program or activity. Once your household has done this you will not need to repeat the process. This procedure ensures district residents receive priority in enrolling for high-demand activities, and discounted prices. A Deerfield mailing address does not guarantee park district Resident status — this is based on property tax boundaries.

Proof of Residency includes BOTH:

• A current residential utility bill (gas, electric, or water, no phone bills are accepted) with your name stating your mailing address and service address as being the same.

• A valid driver’s license or other government-issued photo identification containing your current address.

Documentation may be:

• Securely uploaded to the Registration website (after your online account has been activated).

• Dropped off at the registration office at Jewett Park Community Center, Patty Turner Center, Sachs Recreation Center or Deerfield Golf Club & Learning Center

• Faxed to 847-945-0699

SERVICES FOR RESIDENTS WITH DISABILITIES

Northern Suburban Special Recreation Association (NSSRA) facilitates year-round recreation programs and services for children, teens, and adults with disabilities who live in 13 northern suburban communities, including Deerfield. With nearly 500 recreation, spor t, cultural, and social offerings throughout the year, we specialize in introducing participants to new experiences, providing opportunities for skill development and leisure time, and, most importantly, creating space for friendships to thrive.

Services We Offer

NSSRA serves approximately 1,800 individuals with disabilities through our traditional and cooperative programs. Participants range in age from preschoolers, youth, and teens to young adults, adults, and seniors. Programs are offered at park district facilities, schools, and other locations throughout the northern suburbs.

Inclusion Support

NSSRA’s Inclusion support option provides individuals with disabilities the opportunity to enjoy participation in Northfield programs while receiving the individualized support they need to succeed. NSSRA staff are trained to provide the necessary accommodations to help participants succeed in programs. This not only benefits individuals with disabilities but also enhances the overall experience for all participants, creating a more inclusive and welcoming environment.

CONTRIBUTIONS TO SCHOLARSHIPS

Voluntary contributions to the Deerfield Park Foundation for our Scholarship Fund can be made on the registration form. The fund is used for people who are in serious financial need, to participate in park district programs. The Board of Park Commissioners has a policy that no person will be denied access to recreation programs or facilities because of an inability to pay fees. Please know that the program is strictly confidential and is closely monitored by the Director of Recreation. We appreciate your support.

GENERAL INFORMATION

PARK DISTRICT PHILOSOPHY

The Park Board recognizes the need to provide and maintain sufficient and attractive parks, open space, recreation facilities and programs to serve equitably, and without prejudice, all the people of the Park District in the provision of leisure time activities.

Every opportunity shall be afforded, within financial limits, to plan, procure, develop and maintain park and recreation resources, and to provide leadership for the wholesome and constructive use of leisure time. The provisions of quality recreational services in the most efficient manner, at the least possible cost, and without significantly duplicating the efforts of other agencies, will be emphasized at all times. This includes the development of cooperative agreements with other agencies directly and indirectly involved with leisure services in the District.

The provision of recreation, park and conservation services must be considered as a positive opportunity for people of the District to share with each other, to develop leadership capacities, to learn skills for present and future enjoyment, and to emphasize responsibilities to each other as well as to the community.

KEEP OUR PARKS BEAUTIFUL

To provide safe, healthy and aesthetically pleasing parks, we engage in the limited use of lawn care products as part of an integrated pest management program. A one-time annual application of herbicide to park and school sites is usually completed between Aug. 15 – Nov. 1 of each year. We publicize the date of the application and inform the appropriate school sites and residents who have asked to be advised of this process.

PARTICIPANT CONDUCT

The following conduct code rules apply to both participants and guardians/caregivers of those children. The Deerfield Park District reserves the right to suspend, expel or deny participation in any program or facility to any person whose behavior materially interferes or disrupts the quality of those offerings, the enjoyment of them by other participants or the ability of staff to conduct or manage the activities or facilities.

A child’s parent or guardian will be notified of the first incident; the second incident shall require the presence of a parent at a meeting with the instructor and a Park District administrator/supervisor; a third incident may result in the expulsion or suspension of the child from the program, event or facility.

If a child engages in behavior(s) which may result in bodily harm to others, an immediate meeting with the parent may be called. If such behavior warrants it, immediate suspension or expulsion may result. Temporary suspension from participation due to misconduct will not entitle participant to a refund.

An adult shall receive one verbal or written warning. The second incident may result in suspension from the program, event or facility. If an adult physically strikes a person or object or throws an object at another person, or takes any other action that may pose a real threat of bodily harm to others, or is verbally abusive to others, s/he may immediately be suspended or expelled from the program or facility.

PHOTO PERMISSION

Our staff or designees often take pictures or video at programs and events. Photographers from print or other media outlets may also take pictures or video on occasion. We welcome the coverage and hope you do too; it is frequently how the public learns what is happening at the Park District. If you prefer your family members’ pictures not be taken, please notify us in writing. NOTE: If you do see a photo posted to our websites or social media pages of you or your family member that you would like removed, please email George@deerfieldparks.org.

GENERAL INFORMATION

INSURANCE

Deerfield Park District cannot assume responsibility for injuries or accidents occurring at programs, activities, parks and facilities within our jurisdiction. To do so would make our program and user fees prohibitive. Certain activities, facilities and equipment may, when used improperly, cause harm or personal injury. We make every effort to notify you of potentially dangerous situations and to provide rules for the proper use of equipment and facilities. You can avoid injury by following the rules, using good sense and being considerate of both Park District property and others using it.

EMERGENCY CLOSING

There may be times when weather, road conditions or facility malfunctions dictate that programs and/or services must be canceled, or temporarily postponed or entire facilities closed. The park district will communicate to patrons via the park district website deerfieldparks.org. Whenever School District 109 cancels school due to snow related weather conditions, all Deerfield Park District Preschool classes and all programs held at school sites will also be canceled. Closing other park district facilities or canceling classes will be made on a case by case basis.

BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR

Please respect the rights and property of neighbors of our parks. Use public sidewalks/pathways. Drive carefully in lots, driveways and nearby streets. Trees, bushes, fences, etc., should not be used as bathrooms. Keep your dog on a leash, remain on public property, clean up pet waste, and place trash in park receptacles. To report vandalism, call the Deerfield Police Non-emergency line, 847-945-8636.

AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT

Our Park District and other public agencies are subject to the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) which prohibits discrimination in the services, programs or facilities provided to individuals with disabilities. If you believe that, in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, special assistance may be required when participating in a program, using a facility or receiving a service, please call Dana Bundy, JPCC Manager at 847-572-2624.

THORGUARD

ThorGuard Lightning Prediction Systems are installed at all parks, pools and schools in Deerfield, from April through November. Horns are tested the first Tuesday of each of these months, at 10 AM. Should you hear the horn or see the strobe light at other times—or any time lightning seems possible—be sure to seek shelter. The system is meant to warn the public that conditions are right for possible lightning danger. This system is not 100 percent accurate, as it operates on radio waves which are variable. As not every unit will go off simultaneously, the public is asked to please use common sense when conditions appear threatening, even if ThorGuard warnings are not heard or seen.

Follow these warnings for safety:

• One prolonged horn blast signifies a strong lightning risk.

• The strobe light signals a continuing lightning alert condition.

• Three short horn blasts (and ceasing of strobe light illumination) signal it may be safe to return to the area, but use discretion.

INFECTIOUS DISEASES, FOOD ALLERGIES, MEDICATION, ILLNESS

Infectious Diseases: To prevent the spread of communicable diseases, such as strep, pink eye and fifth’s disease, parents should report any diagnosed cases to the Park District office. If exposure to other participants occurred, a notification is sent home.

Food Allergies: Many of our preschool, as well as cooking and other classes, will serve food; therefore, it is imperative that you notify the full-time Recreation Supervisor of any food allergies or dietary restrictions your child may have.

Medication: If your child requires medication (inhaler, epi-pen, etc.) during class, medication administration forms must be completed. Please call our registration office (847-945-0650) for details.

Illness: Please do not attend class nor send children who are ill to class.
