Table of Contents Fall 2014 Not Just for Kids… Typically, when you think of the fall season, you may think of the excitement of a new school year with the kids heading back for another year of learning and growing. I would like to think that fall is not just for kids anymore. It’s the season of learning for all of us. Lifelong learning is something that the Recreation Services team encourages and strives to provide for the community. No matter where you are in life, you can take advantage of what the Town has to offer to sharpen your skills and increase your knowledge. You can learn how to speak a new language like Italian, French or Chinese; experience hands on computer classes; get moving with a fitness class; or even learn how to get the most out of your iPhone camera. Whether sharpening your mind or your body, it’s never too late to learn. Enjoy the learning season this fall and learn something new. Enjoy exploring all of your options along with other activities, events and performances which are highlighted in the Activity Guide and within the pages of the Discover Danville Arts insert!

Rainouts and Class Make-ups Whenever possible, make-ups will be given on those occasions when inclement weather or instructor illness requires that a class be cancelled. See instructor at next scheduled meeting for make-up date.

Those living outside the Danville Town limits include residents of the communities of Alamo and Diablo, and Alamo Creek, Bettencourt Ranch, Blackhawk, Bryan Ranch, Monterosso, Shadow Creek and Whitegate housing developments.
