REGISTRATION INFORMATION 1. RESIDENT REGISTRATION ONLY

8. INSUFFICIENT FUNDS FEE:

Walk-in resident registration will take place on Saturday, Dec. 7 from 8:00 am-6:00 pm at the Recreation Center, 536 East Avenue, and continues thereafter during regular office hours. Residents can only register their own family during resident registration on Dec. 7. Countryside residents may also register beginning Dec. 7.

2. NON-RESIDENT REGISTRATION Individuals residing outside of the Park District boundaries may register starting at 8 a.m. Monday, Dec. 16. This includes Neighborhood Network residents.

In the event that a program is paid for by check, and that check is returned to the District stamped N.S.F., full payment as well as a $20.00 penalty will be required in cash or cashiers check before attendance in a class can continue.

9. FEE CODE

The fee code used in this brochure is as follows: (R) Residents of La Grange & Countryside (NR) Non-Resident (NN) Neighborhood Network

10. PROOF OF RESIDENCY

3. ONLINE REGISTRATION The Park District of La Grange offers online registration. Come in to the Recreation Center to complete an online registration form to receive the required user name and password for online access. Online registration runs simultaneously to walk-in registration; neither procedure has priority over the other. Online registration is available 24/7 once registration begins for the season. A non-refundable $2 administration fee applies to online registration transactions. Register online at www.pdlg.org.

4. FIRST COME FIRST SERVED All programs have a minimum and maximum enrollment and will be filled on a first come, first served basis.

5. PROGRAM WAITING LISTS Maximum enrollments for programs ensure quality and safety for you and your children. In the past, we made every effort to accommodate as many residents as possible without negatively impacting the programs. This has led to disappointment and frustration for all involved due to problems in timing (those on the waiting lists would find another way to spend their time), and the difficulty related to finding qualified instructors in a short period of time. For this program season, waiting lists will be unlimited. This list will be taken to allow for dropouts and cancellations prior to the start of a program. Our deadline for requesting refunds is 5 days before the start of class. This change helps eliminate last minute decisions regarding program and waiting list status.

6. FALSE INFORMATION/RESIDENT PRIORITY Persons failing to indicate Non-Resident status, or registering NonResidents as Park District Residents will be dropped from the program without refund.

7. REFUNDS AND CANCELLATION Refunds will not be issued after the first class date and must be requested no less than 5 days before the first class meeting. A prorated refund will be issued in cases when the Park District receives a written certificate from a physician that a medical condition exists that prohibits participation. The medical note must be received no later than 14 days after the session end date. A prorated refund may also be issued if the registrant moves outside of the District boundaries. A $5 service charge will be deducted from all refunds over $5, except when a medical certificate is presented in writing, or the District cancels a program. If the Park District cancels a program, participants will have a choice of full refund, credit or class transfer, if available.

Proof of La Grange or Countryside residency is required to qualify for resident rates for program registrations, usage passes and facility rentals. A driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license, state ID or utility bill is acceptable. This policy assures the lowest fees for La Grange residents.

11. NEIGHBORHOOD NETWORK (NN)

All communities that border La Grange which include Western Springs, La Grange Park, Brookfield, La Grange Highlands, and McCook will be charged only 10% more than resident rate for all programs. Proof of residency is required. For all co-op programs, non-residents from the co-op district will get the resident rate.

12. CO-OP PROGRAMMING If the graphic symbol appears next to a program title it is a co-op and resident rate applies for all agencies indicated. All participating agencies must achieve minimum enrollment for a class to be held. Coop codes: LP-La Grange Park, WS-Western Springs,

13. SENIOR DISCOUNT Seniors age 55+ receive a 10% discount for most PDLG programs for adults.

14. PROOF OF AGE

The Park District of La Grange reserves the right to require proof of age for participants age 3 and under.

15. PAYMENT/ENROLLMENT VERIFICATION

When in doubt, call the Park District office at (708) 352-1762.

16. ASSESSMENT DESCRIPTION

You will be assessed a $5 registration fee when signing up for programs. This fee is charged only once per household per season for registrations of $20 and over. If after your initial registration you decide to enroll in more programs during the same program season, simply alert us to that fact when you register. The assessment fee does not apply to online registrations. Collecting this fee allows the Park District to meets its costs without raising fees for every program.

17. PAYMENT METHODS

Payment methods accepted are: Visa, MasterCard, Discover, cash and check. Driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license required for checks.

18. REGISTER EARLY!

Classes subject to cancellation if they do not meet minimum enrollments a week before class starts, unless otherwise noted.

19. FEES SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE

PROGRAM PHILOSOPHY Learning Ladders has been designed to meet the physical, social, intellectual, and creative needs of children ages 2 1/2 to 5. It is based on the premise that children learn through play. Play serves as a “child’s work”, a time when new discoveries and friendships are made. Through play, children learn to communicate with words, express feelings, explore, create, problem solve, make decisions, and much, much more. In addition to creative free play there will be a balance of teacher directed group activities as well. Introduction and exposure to letters, numbers, colors, shapes, and other beginning concepts occurs. Our teaching staff creates and implements lesson plans based on Illinois Early Learning Standards.

GOALS AND OBJECTIVES Our primary goal at Learning Ladders is that children learn through socialization and play based activities. Our secondary goal is that children are exposed to reading readiness skills, ABCs, 123s, shapes and colors. • • • •

Develop a sense of security in group situations. Establish routines, patterns and sharing behavior. Learn correct use, respect and responsibility for materials and equipment. Provide a fun, happy and safe environment for all participants.

• Develop respect for others. • Learn problem-solving skills. • Explore the surrounding environment.

We have a variety of play areas and materials to help us accomplish these objectives. A child’s first social experience should be positive and enjoyable. Our Learning Ladders Preschool is a happy and safe place for these first experiences to begin. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the program at any time, please contact Diana Faught, Early Childhood Supervisor, at (708) 352-1762.

EARLY CHILDHOOD Yo u r F u n D e s t i n a t i o n !

EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS • Children must be the correct age by the first day the program meets, unless otherwise specified. In order to provide your child with the best possible recreational and/or learning experience, all of our programs are planned according to the ages listed in our brochure. • Classes are for child attending only, except for classes with an adult. Parents should not remain in the classroom or gymnasium after dropping off their child. This is in the child’s best interest, as continual interruptions tend to affect participant’s attention span and inhibit the establishment of peer relationships. • Please do not bring food to any class, unless previously arranged. • For your children’s safety, all children enrolled in preschool age programs must be picked up from the specific classroom or program site by their parents or designated guardian. No child will be released from the classroom to anyone other than these individuals. • A mandatory sign in and sign out procedure for all participants is required for all Park District programs. Note: the park district staff does not change diapers, the parents will be contacted in the case of an accident.

ADULT/TEEN JUJITSU (KM)

Our adult programs are designed to help all levels of players improve their tennis game. All strokes will be covered including volleys, ground strokes, serves, lobs, overheads and variations of grips and spins depending on class level.

Danzan Ryu Jujitsu is a Japanese martial art developed in Hawaii. When translated into English, jujitsu means gentle, pliable, or flexible art. The gentleness of the art is expressed in the execution of the techniques, and is not reflected in the effect upon the attacker, except at the discretion of the person executing the technique. Using the techniques, a person may either control an attacker with minimum pain (neutralization), or use a technique designed to produce a great deal of pain. Additional fees include uniform (optional to purchase) and insurance fee (six months $20, 1 year $30) paid to the instructor. For the two day session, please indicate the two days that you will be attending class.

PARTNER YOGA WORKSHOP (LG)

One Day Workshops GONG MEDITATION WORKSHOP (LG) Discover the unique spiritual resonance and healing abilities of the Earth Gong and Tibetan Singing Bowls. This event is sometimes called a “Sound Bath” or “Gong Bath” because you are bathed in sound and vibration, while remaining fully clothed, laying on the floor. The vibrations of the Earth Gong coaxes the brain into Alpha and/or Theta states, resulting in the autonomic nervous system switching to parasympathetic dominance. When the brain goes into Alpha or Theta state, it slows the heart rate, lowers blood pressure, releases stored tension and toxins and more. It feels great! This is the perfect opportunity to meditate, contemplate or just relax and let yourself be energetically cleansed.

SELF-MYOFASCIAL RELEASE WORKSHOP (LG)

123571-01

The meaning of “yoga” is to attach, join, yoke, or connect. Partner Yoga is a practice where two people perform yoga poses (asanas) in unison through touch and support. Move your body, connect with your breath (and partner!), relax your mind, and open your heart as Danielle Dvorak and Richard Graham guide you through a sequence of poses designed to help you build trust, experience teamwork, have fun, and connect with someone special in your life. This someone might be a friend, family member, partner or spouse. Some yoga experience is desirable, as this workshop includes classic yoga poses such as the Warrior. A sweet treat and sparkling beverage will finish off the evening.

GENTLE YOGA (LG) * This class is ideal for people of all sizes, ages, and fitness levels. Gain added flexibility, strength and calmness. And, do it with the enjoyment that comes with doing things SLOWLY. Dress comfortably and bring an exercise mat.

FOAM ROLLER YOGA (LG) This class will combine use of a foam roller and yoga stretching and balancing. With a foam roller you can experience terrific health gains in a relatively short period of time. Some of the main benefits of foam rolling are improved blood circulation for your skin, fascia, muscles, even tendons and ligaments. Some muscles (like hip flexors) and ligaments (illiotibial bands) are prone to shortening and are difficult to stretch. A foam roller can apply deep pressure massage to such areas and lengthen shortened tissues, thereby preventing physical imbalances that can predispose you to injury and promote optimal spinal range of motion. Bring a yoga mat and prepare to feel better.

SENIOR ACTIVITIES Yo u r F u n D e s t i n a t i o n ! MEDICAL JUJITSU FOR SENIORS (KM) THE SURPRISE BRIDGE STAKES CLUB (TS)

Why martial arts for seniors? What a great concept. Healthy living, healthy aging, and living longer. As we grow older we find ourselves limited by the years of wear and tear and the pain associated with it. Simple answer: reversing or slowing the effects of age and pain. In addition to acquiring the benefits of self-defense and self-protection, Danzan Ryu Jujitsu is a Japanese Martial Art developed in Hawaii, when translated into English, jujitsu means gentle, pliable, or flexible art. The gentleness of the art is expressed in the execution of the techniques, and is not reflected in the effect upon the attacker, except at the discretion of the person executing the technique. Additionally, this class will be free of any falling moves. Please note: All participants will need to purchase additional insurance for $10 for 6 months or $15 for 1 year on the first day of class payable to the instructor

FINANCIAL REPORT

Understanding How Your Taxes Make a Difference At the Park District of La Grange, we want you to understand how important your tax dollars are to our mission. We hope that this information helps you understand how much YOU make a difference in the recreational services provided to your community and how much we appreciate your support.

PARK DISTRICT REVENUE

FY 2013 Revenues **

The Park District has several different revenue sources from taxes and fees to grants and bonds. The majority of the Park District’s working revenue comes from property taxes and recreation user fees which includes both program activity fees and rental fees for the use of the Park District facilities. One of our management goals was to reduce property tax revenue as a percentage of total revenue to 65% or less. Our recent partnership with the City of Countryside and some additional programs helped us to achieve this goal.

Often, residents are not aware that the Park District is a separate taxing body from the Village of La Grange. The Park District is governed by a five member Board of Commissioners that is elected by the residents. As a separate governmental entity, the Park District has the ability to levy and collect taxes on all taxable property within the District. Based on a typical 2012 tax bill approximately 5 cents of 2012 Tax Rate by Agency every tax dollar comes to the Park District of La 7.000 Grange.

The Cook County Assessor’s Office calculates the Equalized Assessed Value (EAV) on business and personal properties annually to help determine the amount of property taxes to be paid per business or household. Based on the results of these assessed values, the Park District uses its current tax rate to draw revenue from each property’s EAV to support and provide its public service. In 2012, the tax rate for the Park District of La Grange was .448.

FINANCIAL REPORT PARK DISTRICT EXPENSES The majority of the Park District revenue is put towards recreational program expenses and general governmental costs for maintaining the Park District’s parks and facilities which include 10 park sites, 11 playgrounds, 54 athletic fields and courts, 3 batting cages and five walking paths.

Total Expenditures $4,685,852 100% The Park District prepares an annual budget to manage its fiscal year of revenue and expenses. The staff works diligently to assure that the budget is balanced. The Park Board approves the budget each year by adopting an annual Budget & Appropriation Ordinance. Prior to adoption, the ordinance is posted for public inspection, and a public hearing is held to allow for comments and questions by residents. Our annual budget, along with other Park District information can be found on our website at www.pdlg.org.

EXCELLENCE IN REPORTING At the conclusion of each fiscal year, the Park District prepares a Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) that clearly communicates the financial condition of the Park District and provides details on activities and balances for the fiscal year. In addition, the Park District’ finances are audited by a professional, independent auditor. A formal auditor’s report is provided to the Park District on internal control and compliance, as well as the findings of the audit. The Government Finance Officers Association has awarded the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the Park District of La Grange for 18 consecutive years. To achieve this award, the District’s CAFR must clearly communicate its financial story to the reader and satisfy all the applicable legal requirements and generally accepted accounting principles.

OPERATING BUDGET The Park District of La Grange continues to operate with a surplus in its operating budget. The operating budget includes all revenues and expenses except those from bonds or for capital projects.

INVESTING IN CAPITAL PROJECTS Each year, the District prepares a capital budget for repairs and/or replacement of equipment or amenities. The capital projects are financed with a combination of non-referendum bond money, grants and surplus from the operations budget. On December 19, 2012, the District issued $2.53 million in general obligation park bonds to finance capital projects within the District. The majority of this money will be used for Phase I of the Gordon Park Improvements.

PARK DISTRICT OF LA GRANGE www.pdlg.org | Winter/Spring 2014

GENERAL INFORMATION LATE PICK-UP POLICY The Park District of La Grange staff will supervise children who are left beyond the scheduled time until a parent or other authorized adult on the pick-up list arrives. However, late pickups will result in a fee. Payment of the late fee is to be paid at the Recreation Center located at 536 East Avenue BEFORE your child can attend the next day of camp/class. If you have any questions, please call Laura Gallagher at 352-1762.

1-15 minutes late = $5.00 Every minute after that = $1.00

IMPORTANT INFORMATION The Park District of La Grange is committed to conducting its recreation programs and activities in the safest manner possible and holds the safety of participants in the highest regard. Participants and parents registering their child in recreation programs must recognize, however, that there is an inherent risk of injury when choosing to participate in recreation activities. The Park District of La Grange continually strives to reduce such risks and insists that all participants follow safety rules and instructions which have been designed to protect the participant’s safety. Please recognize that the Park District of La Grange does not carry medical accident insurance for injuries sustained in its programs. The cost of such would make program fees prohibitive; therefore, each person registering themselves or a family member for a recreation program/activity should review their own medical insurance policy for coverage. It must also be noted that the absence of medical insurance coverage does not make the Park District of La Grange automatically responsible for the payment of medical expenses. The Park District of La Grange requires that all program participants or legal guardians sign a Liability Waiver and Release form at the time of registration. This form must be signed prior to participation in any Park District program. Your cooperation and understanding is greatly appreciated.

PARK USAGE RULES For your Safety and Protection....CERTAIN LOCAL RULES ARE ESTABLISHED BY THE BOARD OF PARK COMMISSIONERS SO THAT ALL MAY ENJOY THE PARKS SAFELY. YOU ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING RULES. 1. No dogs are allowed in the parks. 2. No alcoholic beverages are allowed in any park areas. 3. No driving or parking of cars, motorcycles or snowmobiles are allowed in any grass area or sportsfield. 4. No weapons of any type may be carried by anyone in the park except by the police. This includes slingshots, pellet guns or guns which are in a case.

5. No smoking within any Park District buildings. 6. No golfing in the parks. Youth Golf Program participants are exempt from this rule during scheduled golf lessons. 7. Parks are open from sunrise to sunset unless otherwise posted. Exceptions apply to lighted areas (i.e. courts, fields, etc.)

PROGRAM CODE OF CONDUCT To ensure enjoyable and safe programs for all participants, the Park District of La Grange has developed a behavior code. Participants shall: • Show respect to all participants and staff. • Refrain from using foul language. • Refrain from causing bodily harm. • Show respect to equipment, supplies, and facilities. Additional rules are developed for specific programs as deemed necessary by staff.

PROGRAM FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE The Financial Assistance Policy of the Park District of La Grange is established to provide a fair and equitable system through which District residents may take part in recreation programs when they are unable to pay the required fees. Partial program fee waivers may be granted for Park District of La Grange residents for certain programs. Any family who would like to see if they are eligible for a scholarship may obtain an application from the Park District of La Grange Administration Office at 536 East Avenue, La Grange, IL 60525.

CO-OP PROGRAMMING If the graphic symbol appears next to a program title, it is a CO-OP, and resident rates apply for all agencies indicated. All participating agencies must achieve minimum enrollment for a class to be held. There are three reasons why park districts and recreation departments typically offer programs in cooperation with another agency. Reason #1 is because individually each agency does not have the population base to support a program. Reason #2 is that one of the agencies does not have the facility to offer a program. Reason #3 is that both agencies can increase the variety of programs offered to their residents.

AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT (ADA) The Park District of La Grange is committed to accessibility for individuals with disabilities and strives to provide equal, integrated participation in all programs, activities and services. The Park District’s policy is to reasonably accommodate all qualified program applicants in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). We welcome the questions, comments and concerns of interested community members regarding District ADA compliance. To arrange for auxiliary aids or accommodations enabling individuals with disabilities to participate in Park District public meetings, or to request publications in a special format (such as audiocassette or large print), contact the Superintendent of Recreation by calling (708) 352-1762 or by writing to 536 East Avenue, La Grange, IL 60525.

GENERAL INFORMATION INCLUSIVE RECREATION PROGRAMS In a continuing effort to meet the needs of residents with special needs, SEASPAR and the Park District of La Grange provide inclusive recreation services. This means that individuals with disabilities participate in programs offered by the Park District. This inclusive recreation environment provides residents with disabilities greater choices for their leisure time and allows all residents to learn about one another as they participate together. Let the Park District and SEASPAR know of your special needs interests so that we can provide the support necessary for successful inclusion. By communicating your needs, the Park District and SEASPAR can be prepared to provide you with appropriate services. Please contact the Superintendent of Recreation to convey your needs.

PHOTOGRAPHS The Park District of La Grange uses pictures of participants in its programs and special events to inform others of these recreational opportunities. We do not use any identification in our brochure. If you do not want a picture taken, please tell our photographer.

GIVE THE GIFT OF FUN! A gift certificate for a recreation program or activity is the perfect gift for anyone. You can purchase a gift certificate at the Park District Office at 536 East Avenue, Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm.
