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!

In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Town of Danville encourages those with disabilities to participate in our programs. If you have any special needs that require specific accommodations so you can fully enjoy our classes and programs, call 314-3400.

Residency Status Clarification

Course Cancellation

The program and facility fees cover a large portion of the actual costs, though Town of Danville residents also partially support the classes, events and facilities through their property tax assessments. Because of this, those program participants and individuals reserving Town facilities who live outside of Danville pay an additional non-resident charge. If you have any questions about this information, call 314-3400.

When registration falls below the minimum enrollment required, it may be necessary to cancel a class or program. At the time of cancellation, the Town will initiate a full refund. Check refunds may take 4–6 weeks.

Photo/Video Liability Disclosure Photographs and video may be taken of participants during a class or program, and these photographs and video may be used for Town of Danville publicity purposes.

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.

Special Notice to Alamo Residents living in the Alamo County Service Area R-7A: all R-7A residents are eligible to register for Town-sponsored programs scheduled at Hap Magee Ranch Park during the resident registration period. Non-resident fees still apply for these classes and activities. Call 314-3400 for more information.

No refunds (whole or partial) can be given for classes missed by the student.

Waitlists Waitlists will be created once a class has reached maximum enrollment. If space becomes available, you will be called.

Withdrawals (Credits/Refunds) Requests for withdrawal will be honored if requested no later than five business days prior to the first day of the class.

Requests made less than five business days prior to the first day of class must be submitted in writing and will be considered on an individual basis. A $20 processing fee will be charged for processing refunds.

Withdrawals for sports leagues may be approved if a team can be replaced before the first game.
