DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE HELP… And just like that a year goes by since I have written this Director’s message to be included in a printed activity guide. What a year it has been for all of us. As I sit and reflect on what we have gone through, I am amazed how this community has been able to stay strong. We are Danville strong and during a pandemic it has taken every ounce of strength we all could muster. It has been a strength that although weary at times still persevered and was sustained. The way I see it there was only one way we could have kept the strength up. We did that with a little help. The helping hands of our community. We have been there for each other whether shopping/dining locally, using our beautiful parks as the prescription for what ails us, participating in our in-person or online offerings or simply by wearing a mask and keeping our distance. A helping hand goes a long way to build up, hold up and strengthen up our Danville. Your Recreation, Arts & Community Services Department has been simply trying to continue to offer programs that would help bring the fun, help bring the normal and provide the help someone might need. Our programs have been more than just a camp or a class to be taken, they have been a break for the mind and fulfilment of the soul. As we stroll into spring with optimism in tow, I would like to encourage you to try something new, get outside and join us in supporting each other and the community. I realize this guide is not as full as in years past, but we are still here, and we are still offering you opportunities to play and recreate. I invite you to review this activity guide and see what helps you!

Find the Fun Activity CRAYON RESIST DEATH STAR BY FUN-A-DAY.COM MATERIALS
• Large white cupcake liners • Gray and black crayons • Black liquid watercolors • Paintbrush DIRECTIONS
1. Flatten the cupcake liner, then grab the crayons. 2. Draw the design onto the cupcake liner. To draw a design that looks similar to the one in the movie start with a superlaser at the top of the Death Star. Make a circle with a dot in the middle. Then add lines coming out from the dot. Next, draw a horizontal line along the center of the liner. Draw a few more horizontal lines above and below the center line. Go back and add in vertical lines between each of the horizontal lines. 3. Once you’re happy with the design, start painting! Once everything’s dry, put them up.

RAINOUTS AND CLASS MAKE-UPS
Credit: Kevin Wong
Advise Town staff if participant has a disability or allergy requiring special accommodations. Class registration form may be sent ahead of registration date. All class registrations submitted prior to the first day of registration will be entered on the appropriate registration date, with no priority given.
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.
COURSE CANCELLATION 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.
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. 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 seven business days prior to the first day of class. There will be a $5 withdrawal fee assessed for each activity. Requests made less than seven 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.
RESIDENCY STATUS CLARIFICATION 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. 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. 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.
