Bringing Family & Community Together Through Recreation Since 1934!

Welcome to WA-WM Recreation & Community Services

Dear Members of the West Allis-West Milwaukee Community,

It’s that time of year when the warm summer weather has passed and winter’s bluster is right around the corner. Our Wisconsin winters can seem to go on forever.

Instead of biding time at home and waiting for spring, I encourage you to enroll in one of the many diverse programs or classes offered by our West Allis-West Milwaukee Recreation and Community Services Department.

Our Recreation Department offers programming for both individuals and families with opportunities to participate in athletics, fitness, crafts, self-enrichment, and much more. Our Activity Guide has something for everyone.

These activities will keep both the young and “young at heart” active during the long winter months ahead. Here’s to enrolling in a program or class this winter and staying active, engaged, and fit!

Dr. Martin Lexmond Superintendent Do you have a Talent or Idea?

We may be interested in hiring you as an instructor or maybe you have an idea of a program on your “wish list”.

Please contact our office with your talent or ideas!

We would love to hear from you!

It covers a little baton, dance, and props. A Showcase, is the last event for the Baton Class Season and will be held in March 2017.

Diamond Twirlers is a club sport activity under the auspices of the West Allis-West Milwaukee Recreation and Community Services Department.

The goals of the group are to develop ability within the sport, promote teamwork and leadership skills, and to have fun. The Director is National Baton Twirling Association Registered Judge/Coach Kathy Kugi-Tom. Team placement is based on tryout scores. All students trying out will be placed on a team. Placement is at sole discretion of the Director. Practices are primarily Saturdays, January 7 - July 15, 2017. Additional practices could be added as needed.

Wills, trusts, and beneficiary planning provide necessary direction and continuity for passing on your assets after death and helping your loved ones administer your estate.

Dan McDermott and Jess Henrickson will discuss strategies to help you protect your assets and ease the burden on your loved ones.

Powers of Attorney Explained!

Ideal for those planning for themselves and those assisting loved ones. Someone must be appointed to make financial and health care decisions for the incapacitated person, whether through Powers of Attorney (POAs) or a court-appointed guardianship process. These are difficult circumstances, and making an informed decision in choosing a POA for yourself (and avoiding guardianship) is critical.

Just as critical is understanding the responsibilities you may hold as a POA or guardian in making decisions on behalf of an incapacitated loved one. We will discuss the financial and legal aspects of what acting as a guardian or POA actually entails, and how caregiving and dementia can play particularly significant roles in proper planning. Dan McDermott and Jess Henrickson will serve as a resource to help you plan for long term care needs and costs.

Asparagus is a harbinger of spring but is now available year round.

Asparagus is actually the sweet, tender, early shoot of a plant in the lily family. Staci will make several recipes featuring the delicious vegetable that will wow family and friends. The menu will include Prosciutto wrapped Asparagus with Hollandaise, Crust-less Asparagus Quiche, Cream of Asparagus Soup with Lemon, Parmesan and Thyme and Asparagus Riso.

Bread is a pretty fantastic food; it’s the backbone of any sandwich and is often used to accompany meals when entertaining. It’s incredibly versatile, which means if you have a lot if it left over, you can use it in ways you’ve probably never thought to use before. From soups to soufflés, you won’t have any reason to toss that extra loaf with these ideas from Staci Joers. You can use your bread to create: Panzanella, Roasted Tomato Bread Soup, Mac N Cheese with Bacon, Cheddar and Sage with Brown Butter Bread Crumbs, Sweet Bread Pudding with Pecan-Bourbon Sauce.
