Maria Villela brings a whole different box of tools to the table; it includes scissors, a tape measure and thread. And it is from those tools that she gets such pleasure in creating any project that includes fabric, needle and thread. Although she is a professional tailor by trade for the past 29 years, crafty sewing and quilting projects are her main love that she enjoys as a hobby. It is that passion that drives her to share her knowledge and expertise with anyone who likes to quilt or sew. She is constantly thinking about how she can recycle or reuse remnants of fabrics into something special, and the results are always spectacular. Maria leads most of the quilting and sewing classes at Sammons Community Center and is frequently at the Center assisting others who have hit a snag with their own projects.

Adopt A Park The City of Temple encompasses parks, gardens, and trails. These areas provide our community with an enhanced quality of life through recreational spaces, picnic spots, exercise opportunities, and community gathering areas. Temple has a remarkable 58 developed parks and special use areas. The parks supply animal habitat, flood control, climate control and oxygen producing trees. These features are vital to maintaining a healthy lifestyle for our community. Parks, gardens, and trails also help attract businesses to our area which improves Temple’s economy. Temple’s Parks and Leisure Services Department works diligently to provide citizens with clean, attractive, and well maintained areas. Due to the number of parks in Temple, it is difficult to keep each park in its top condition at all times. With your enthusiasm, willingness, and effort we can keep Temple’s parks in prime condition. This program is fun, easy and rewarding.
We ask the following of each adopter: • Each group/individual must fill out one Adopt-A-Park partnership form • Each participant needs to fill out and return a release form before the workday date • Each group needs one contact person • Each group/individual should volunteer in the park at least 3 days out of the year • The first workday will need to be scheduled with an Adopt-A-Park staff • Volunteer hours need to be tracked and submitted to the Parks and Leisure Services Administration Office A sign will be placed in an adopter’s park to recognize the groups/individuals. Temple Parks and Leisure Services Adopt-APark Program would like to thank our adopters for their dedication, involvement, and hard work. These people have made a commitment to help maintain Temple’s parks. We encourage all Temple residents and organizations to help beautify our city by adopting a park!

Sheri Joseph enjoys getting on deck and teaching Water Aerobics. She motivates her Senior Water Aerobics class to get fit and to build up their cardio endurance so they can lead fuller, healthier lives. During last summer, she asked to move her class to an outdoor pool so the seniors could get some fresh air and sunlight, and they loved it. Look for Sheri’s Outdoor Senior Water Aerobics class this Summer at Walker Pool, starting at 9:15am every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday!!
