WELCOME TO FALL 2020 As we head into fall, our battle to stop COVID–19 continues. There is no doubt that this is one of the most challenging periods of our nation’s history. Regardless of how much this crisis has altered our way of life, it is more important than ever that we exercise for mental, social and physical health.

Cooking 9

Dance 10

11-12

That is why Montgomery County Recreation has developed a fall program that will be safe and enjoyable.

The fall program will include activities that are outdoors or virtual, so participants feel comfortable and safe. In addition, the County’s aquatic centers will be open with appropriate health and safety measures in place.

Health/Wellness

In this year’s fall guide, you will find activities that are much like the ones you have always enjoyed. There are experiences people of all ages can use to stay active throughout the fall.

Martial Arts

We are in a different time—and we have to find new and different ways to spend our recreational free time. This fall, Montgomery County Recreation will make it easy for you to keep busy, have fun—and do it while staying safe.

Children’s Days “Good Garden Vibes Children’s Programs

Fall Children’s Programs Special Note

and Wellness”

We’ve made some changes to our annual Children’s Day, so kids and families can enjoy the event safely. It’s more important than ever to get outside and experience the “Good Garden Vibes and Wellness” that comes from being near plants. Small groups will rotate through outdoor stations where the children will meet “Sunny Blossom” for a song and fun physical exercise, make an upcycled key windchime, pot-a-plant and practice some garden yoga and mindfulness! Families or groups of 8 including adult must register. Since this is a limited attendance event, we suggest limited adult supervision (i.e. one parent instead of two accompanying child or group of children). We are sorry, walk-ins will not be accepted so everyone can keep a safe physical distance.

We look forward to welcoming you back for our fall programs both online and in person. Special cleaning measures are in place to provide a safe environment for everyone. For indoor activities, group size will be adjusted, and tables will be spaced according to current CDC guidelines. In order to seat guests at tables comfortably, we have changed the registration process so you may register your family members or close friends to be seated together at a table for four or eight (depending on the program). As we need to be mindful of the maximum group size, we suggest limiting adult supervision to one adult accompanying a child. We are sorry, walk-ins will not be accepted so everyone can keep a safe physical distance.

Duron Chavis, Urban Farmer, Educator and Changemaker

About Jimi Blake

Our food system works for some in our nation but fails too many people of color, a problem that has only been exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic. In this lecture, Duron offers a vision of a healthy and just food system.

Sharing the importance of applying an equity lens to our current system, he will diagnose the problems and challenges, identify areas ready for change, and determine ways that we can work together to build a better and more fair system for everyone. Duron will share from his personal experience working in urban agriculture and local food systems as he helps define what it means to build a racially equitable food system—from field to farm to fork—and lay out the necessary steps toward achieving that goal.

Jimi trained in the National Botanic Gardens in Dublin as a horticulturist and was subsequently appointed Head Gardener at Airfield House in Dundrum, Dublin. Jimi is a Gardening Consultant, Planting Designer, and International Lecturer giving talks and presentations all over the world.

About Duron Chavis Duron Chavis started his career in community advocacy working with the Black History Museum and Cultural Center of VA. While there he founded the highly acclaimed Happily Natural Day festival, a weekend long experience that focuses on cultural awareness, health, wellness and social change. In 2009 Duron launched the Richmond Noir Market, a Saturday pop-up farmer’s market targeting low-income communities located in what the USDA has designated as food deserts in Richmond, VA. In 2012 he developed McDonough Community Garden and began transforming green spaces throughout the Richmond Region into urban gardens, farms, orchards, and vineyards.

He served as one of 40 community facilitators for dialogues on concentrated poverty throughout the Richmond Region on behalf of Virginia Center for Inclusive Communities,

Brookside Gardens School of Botanical Art & Illustration Mastering The Art of Light & Shadow with Watercolor This course will be taught online using Zoom, a free online application. Students will need access to a computer that has a built-in camera or a smart phone. The instructor will use a combination of live demonstrations and short pre-recorded videos during this online workshop to demonstrate techniques and review concepts. Students will be able to work on their assignment during the week between each session. During each three-hour session, students will have the opportunity to ask questions and submit their artwork via email or share it live during the class for review by the instructor.

Instructor: Heeyoung Kim

Transforming a humble flower into a dramatic artwork starts from the choice of an angle that creates dramatic contrast, intricate perspective, and the flowing light that captures a viewer’s eye. In this workshop, Heeyoung will share her methods of observing and analyzing the specimen in order to maximize the interplay of light and shadow.

She will share composition techniques that help develop quick drawing skills that eliminate unnecessary repetition while maximizing detail and accuracy. Dark colors are often challenging to achieve as they become muddy looking or uneven when too many layers are applied. Students will delight in how quickly they’ll be able to achieve these rich dark colors and velvety textures with a few simple preparations.

Match Play 3.5 Tennis

Live Ball Drill

The 3.5 player has dependable strokes, but still lacks depth, variety, and the ability to alter distance of shots.

Lack of confidence might limit the 3.5 player in effective use of lobs, overheads, approach shots, and volleys. This player is more comfortable at net, has improved court awareness, and is developing teamwork in doubles. First half of class focuses on needed drills and skills. Class finishes with a session of supervised match play. Instructor reserves the right to transfer you up or down a level if you are not closely matched in skill level.

If you are looking for a workout but cannot commit to 6 weeks Live Ball Tennis Drills are designed for you! Drills consist of hitting a lot of Tennis Balls in a play situation to sharpen your skills and mental toughness while getting a workout too!
