Summer has been so exciting! Along with the pools opening, we added a fantastic new, all-inclusive playground at Heartland Park.

Jake’s Field of Dreams allows kids of ALL abilities to interact, play together and make new friends. It’s a place where limits are limitless and barriers are broken. If you haven’t been able to visit yet, put it on your calendar and make the trip. It is fun for the whole family. Check out page 30 for a quick glimpse! We are excited to be able to enhance our community with additions such as this and look forward to many more improvements in the future.

Now that summer is coming to an end, we hope you make plans to enjoy some of our fall and winter activity favorites such as Monster Mash Trunk-or-Treat, Bingo with Santa and who can forget a holiday must, Holiday Night Lights at Rotary Park. But we also have some exciting NEW events this year! Fall into Wentzville’s Family Festival offers live entertainment, kid-friendly activities, art and craft vendors, food and much more! You can join in the fun on Friday, Sept. 21 and Saturday, Sept. 22 – so save the dates!

If your kids are looking for something fun (and safe) to do on New Year’s Eve, sign them up for our Lock-In at Progress Park. Under adult supervision, kids ages 8 to 13 will enjoy games, contests, dancing, basketball, volleyball, crafts and even a raffle or two. See page 13 for more details. Always remember to check our website and social media channels for details about all up-and-coming events and classes. Here’s to a great end to a great year!

Wentzville's Senior New Transportation Option fo r Community Needs You! Wentzville's Senior Residents The partnership between ITNGateway and the City of Wentzville has resulted in a safe and reliable way to provide transportation for senior citizens (ages 60 and older), as well as adults with visual impairments or disabilities. To learn more about the partnership and annual fee reimbursement, please visit bit.ly/seniortransportation.

As the service continues to grow, particularly in the Wentzville area, the need for volunteer drivers increases. ITNGateway volunteers help seniors stay independent and healthy by taking them to doctor’s appointments, to visit friends or even to get a haircut. Volunteers can provide service one afternoon a week or a few hours each month.

ITNGateway will arrange your driving schedule and routes to fit your calendar. Your time will help older citizens stay connected to the family, friends and activities that bring meaning to their lives.

Volunteers use their own vehicles and can either be reimbursed for mileage or donate their credits back to the organization for patrons to use. As a volunteer, you’ll receive training. ITNGateway also offers on-site training for your company or organization. To set up training, please call (636) 329-0888. Learn more about ITNGateway and its volunteer opportunities at bit.ly/volunteertodrive.
