Be a part of a team…

The Golden State Warriors say there is “Strengthen in Numbers.” The San Francisco Giants believe that “Together we’re Giant.” Both teams have recently reached the ultimate goal of a championship. It seems that there are times when doing it alone just won’t do.

As you come into the New Year, I challenge you to find yourself a team. A team that that will help you to achieve more. Whatever that “more” is for you, find a way to make your life about the “we” and not the “me.”

When you do that you’ll be amazed on what you can do.

The Town strives to offer enjoyable moments through a small town atmosphere and an outstanding quality of life by providing the opportunity for growth and enrichment. These opportunities are meant to be delighted in especially when it helps you to have a life filled with recreation and the arts. These are the perfect types of events and activities that can bring a team together. The experiences you have can be that much sweeter when sharing it with others.

One way to learn more about the Town’s programs would be to explore this Activity Guide. Find an activity that helps you to put together a team and participate. Another option would be for you to come and join us at the 8th Annual Recreation Expo on Saturday, February 11. However you choose, know that you’re invited to join our team and participate in your community by discovering new interests and meeting new people through the Town’s programs and events.

AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT

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.

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.
