New Registration Software The Town of Danville is transitioning to a new registration software program for Recreation Services called Active Net which will be utilized for program registration and facility rentals. This system provides many upgraded features which we anticipate will improve customer service and will go live with a full launch in February 2015, just in time for the Silver Streak’s March/April registration period. While senior registration will not be available on-line until late spring, all participants who register for activities for March and April will need to create a new account in the new system. We encourage you to set up your individual customer account beginning February 1, 2015 by going to the website www.danvillerecguide.com and create your own account by following the system prompts. By doing so, your information will be readily available for you when you go to register for programs and activities for March and April. For those of you who do not have computer access, the Danville Senior Center staff will be available to assist you in the process. The enclosed registration form has been updated and we ask that if you haven’t set up your own account, you make sure all of the required information is complete so we can register you in a timely manner. Thank you for your support!
