Harvest the Fun... As we say goodbye to summer, we once again move into the time of year when we begin to sharpen the pencils, fill the backpacks and get into a school year mode. The fall season brings new beginnings that allow for many to take advantage of ways to have fun and learn something new. This is the time to reap the benefits of what the Town has nurtured for you in the way of recreation and arts. We invite you to find a way to Harvest the Fun by participating in our programs and events. Come enjoy the growth and enrichment opportunities which are being offered, whether you take in a show put on by the Role Players at the Village Theatre, learn how to speak a new language, hike with our Trail Mixers, cook some South American favorites, pick up a racquet and hit the tennis courts or volunteer as basketball coach for our Junior Warriors program. There is some fun out there to be had by all.

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 4â&#x20AC;&#x201C;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. There will be a $5 processing fee assessed for each activity withdrawal. 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 made by check. We do not provide cash refunds. Withdrawals for sports leagues may be approved if a team can be replaced before the first game.
