December 2020
HRCA HOLIDAY HAPPENINGS HRCA has events, classes, and activities to keep your family entertained throughout the season. Community Events Santa is busy making his list of good girls and boys! If your child can't meet with the Jolly Old Elf in person this year, be sure to drop off his or her Christmas wish list from now until December 17 at Eastridge Recreation Center. Include your address, and all letters received by that date will get a response from the North Pole! The Hometown Holiday Drive Thru may be sold out, but we have plenty of other ways for you to get into the Christmas spirit! On December 4 at 3:30 p.m., log on to the HRCA Facebook page at Facebook.com/ HighlandsRanchCommunityAssociation for a virtual visit from Santa! He will read a holiday story and have a special message for the kids. This is a live stream, so don't be late!
Many of our traditional in-person events had been canceled for 2020, but due to a generous grant from the Scientific & Cultural Facilities District, we are able to provide the community with two of our traditional events to be enjoyed from the comfort of your own home. Introduce your children to a classic, Nutcracker Highlights, in a free, one hour performance by the International Youth Ballet. In addition, experienced players from the Colorado Symphony perform Chamber Music for the Holidays live streamed on December 9. If you miss the live performance, a link will be available for viewing throughout December. Links for both of these events can be found at www.HRCAonline.org/Happenings. This year, start a holiday tradition that allows you to be socially distant by driving through Highlands Ranch to view homes decorated with festive lights. Submit your house to our Holiday House Decorating map. Entries (Continued on page 5)
RESERVATIONS NOW REQUIRED TO USE WORK OUT AREAS The State has mandated that Douglas County move to Level Red: Severe Risk on the dial. This change has reduced our capacity in the pool, weight room, and cardio areas at the recreation centers. Much like the system we used this summer for our pools, we are now using a reservation system for our cardio, weights and circuit training areas. Reservations are also required for the drop-in fitness classes and indoor pools, including lap swimming. To make a reservation, go to www.HRCAonline.org/ Reservations. The more restrictive measure impacts our sports, fitness, aquatics, and programs as well. The best way to stay
