ASSUMPTION OF THE RISK AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY RELATING TO CORONAVIRUS/ COVID-19

The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact. As a result, federal, state, and local governments and federal and state health agencies recommend social distancing and have, in many locations, prohibited the congregation of groups of people. Los Gatos-Saratoga Community Education and Recreation (“LGS Recreation”) has created new protocols and put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, LGS Recreation cannot guarantee that you or your child(ren) will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, attending any program may increase your child(ren)s risk of contracting COVID-19. LGS Recreation’s programs by nature involve interaction between and among participants and agency staff, as well as potential interaction between and among parents who are dropping off their children and/or observing the program. By signing this agreement, I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that my child(ren) and I may be exposed to, or infected by COVID-19 by attending, and/or transporting my children to, LGS Recreation programs, activities, or events, and of the named perils listed below. I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at LGS Recreation programs, activities, or events may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, LGS Recreation employees, volunteers, and program participants and their families. I voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any and all named perils and/or injury to my child(ren) or myself, including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, and death, illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind, that I, my child(ren), or others, may experience or incur in connection with my child(ren)’s attendance at LGS Recreation programs. On my behalf, and on behalf of my child(ren), I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless LGS Recreation, its employees, agents, and representatives, of and from the Claims, including all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs or expenses of any kind arising out of or relating to the above named perils in connection with my child(ren)’s attendance at LGS Recreation programs. I understand and agree that this release includes any Claims based on the actions, omissions, or negligence of LGS Recreation, its employees, agents, and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in any LGS Recreation program.

Imagine your body is a musical instrument that has not been tuned in years. A Sound Bath is a deeply-immersive, full-body listening experience that intentionally uses sound to invite gentle yet powerful therapeutic and restorative processes to nurture the mind and body. It is a great way for anyone who has not yet learned how to meditate on their own. You might find yourself feeling more creative, less stressed, and more self-aware. Experience it for yourself and see where it takes you! Drop-in: $40. Instructor: Sabrina Huang

Along the way we’ll find the original People’s Temple of Jim Jones, as well as the Chinatown restaurant where a massacre occurred. The Golden Gate Bridge, City Hall assassinations, and murderous waterfront protests will also be covered. Come along with us to discover a different aspect of “everyone’s favorite City.

Filoli Gardens and The Foster Museum

The estate took a community of people to create and sustain and was built as a labor of love by many people, most of whom migrated or immigrated to the area to build a better life. The tour includes a behind-the-scenes visit to the historic staff vegetable gardens and living quarters. Enjoy an Italian lunch at Cafe Bono before heading off to The Foster! The Foster is a quiet, contemplative space in which to take a breath from regular life and experience beautiful art and inspiring wilderness journeys. The 14,000 square-foot venue opened in 2016 with a mission to share British artist-explorer Tony Foster’s watercolor diaries and inspire reflection, discussion, and education about art, wilderness, and the natural world. It is our hope that The Foster will be added to your destination list of “local attractions” that you share with your residents.
