THE COMMUNITY HOUSE WOMAN’S BOARD

The Woman’s Board was formed in 1976 by an enterprising group of women to support the Community House, an entity they considered vital to the unique quality of their community. The Community House has evolved since then, but the fundraising efforts of the Woman’s Board have always stayed constant. The Woman’s Board, which also includes a Junior Board for high school students, is the fundraising arm of the Community House, contributing critical funds to the operating budget each year.

The fundraising efforts currently focus on event fundraising, including the esteemed Antiques+Modernism Show, Breakfast with Santa, Wine & Beer Tasting, and a FunRun. Our members are a talented and energetic group of women, who want to support and promote the Community House – and have fun together while doing so. Interested in getting involved?

martialarts

Participants are carefully initiated into karate, which focuses on alertness of mind, self-control, and mental strategies to meet life challenges. Traditional karate is a martial art that emphasizes the principles and applications of weaponless self-defense through the use of total body dynamics and mental discipline. Students will constantly strive for technical excellence and enhancement of one’s character. The following items are optional and will incur additional costs: uniforms, belt tests, and tournaments.

Belt Ranking System: There are 11 belt levels (kyu) before first-degree black belt (shodan). A new student is assigned the white belt rank (eleventh kyu). Students must fulfill certain requirements under normal practice conditions and in a test environment to secure progressive promotions up to and including the black belt (dan) levels. When a student has acquired a strong foundation in the fundamentals of karate, he or she can be promoted to the rank of first-degree black belt.

Ron Stein Ron Stein is the chief instructor for the Community House Karate Program and has been teaching karate to the community of Winnetka since 1994.

PICKLEBALL

Pickleball is a racquet sport that combines elements of badminton, tennis, and table tennis. Two, three, or four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a perforated polymer ball, similar to a wiffle ball, over a net. The sport shares features of other racquet sports, the dimensions and layout of a badminton court, and a net and rules similar to tennis, with a few modifications. Pickleball was invented in the mid-1960s as a children’s backyard pastime but has become popular among adults as well.

Community House Winnetka continually strives to reduce such risks, and insists that all participants follow safety rules and instructions which have been design to protect the participants safety. Please recognize that the Community House of Winnetka does not carry medical accident insurance for injuries sustained in its programs. The cost of such would make program fees prohibitive. Therefore, each person registering himself/herself or a family member for a recreation program/ activity should review his/her own health insurance policy for coverage. It must be noted that the absence of health insurance coverage does not make the Community House of Winnetka automatically responsible for payment of medical expenses.

I do hereby fully release and discharge the Community House of Winnetka and its officers, agents, servants and employees from any and all claims from injuries, including death, damages or loss which I may have or which may accrue to me on account of my participation.
