Woman’s Board Woman’s Board The Woman’s Board was formed in 1976 by an enterprising group of women to support the entity they considered vital to the unique quality of their community. Their children had spent Saturday afternoons playing ball in the gym of WCH, watched movies in Matz Hall on Friday evenings and congregated during after-school hours at the bowling alley. Bridge groups, armchair travel lectures and theatre offerings all found a home through the years at the Gothic-style building located at Pine Street and Lincoln in Winnetka. Winnetka Community House receives no tax dollar support. Eighty-five percent of the funds raised by the Woman’s Board go directly to the operating budget of the Community House, with the remainder earmarked for special projects and needs. These funds, along with generous and ongoing support from local businesses and residents, have helped to grow and sustain Winnetka Community House—one of the only institutions of its kind in the United States. Our members are a multigenerational group of women, working together to support and promote Winnetka Community House. We work in a team environment with many opportunities for individual contributions. Members of the Woman’s Board are unofficial “ambassadors” for Winnetka Community House. Members are encouraged to attend and participate in events sponsored by the Woman’s Board, such as the Antiques + Modernism Winnetka Preview Party and other member social events and to volunteer when possible as additional “womanpower” is needed.

Strength Equipment!

Personal Training

Winnetka Community House Fitness Centre has recently been outfitted with new stateof-the-art LifeFitness strength equipment which will allow your workouts to be more effective and enjoyable. Along with the upgraded the equipment, the lower level has been re-designed to create more open space for functional training to perform dynamic movement, agility, and balance exercises more comfortably and effectively. To learn more about functional training exercises, consider working with one of our personal trainers.

Serious athletes have long used personal trainers to enhance their performance in competition. Celebrities hire personal trainers to keep them stay in shape. But the people who benefit most from personal training are ordinary men and women seeking to be stronger and function more effectively in their everyday lives. Working with a trainer, anyone can achieve their fitness goals—goals as modest as touching your toes again or as ambitious as preparing to run a marathon. Whether you want to lose weight, regain flexibility, develop speed or simply feel good again, personal training is an activity that you will continue to reap benefits in years to come. Our personal trainers’ main objectives are to assist, guide and educate those who wish to experience a greater ease and physical ability in their lives. Registration is by appointment only.

Winnetka Community House is committed to conducting its recreation programs and activities in the safest manner possible, and holds the safety of the participants in the highest possible regard. Participants and parents registering their child in recreation programs must recognize, however, that there is an inherent risk of injury when choosing to participate in recreation activities. Winnetka Community House continually strives to reduce such risks, and insists that all participants follow safety rules and instructions which have been designed to protect the participants’ safety. Please recognize that Winnetka Community House 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 Winnetka Community House automatically responsible for payment of medical expenses. Due to the difficulty and high cost of obtaining liability insurance, the agency providing liability coverage for Winnetka Community House requires the execution of the following Waiver and Release. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. Please read this form carefully, and be aware in participating in the program(s) listed on this page, you will be waiving and releasing all claims for injuries you might sustain arising out of the activities of this program.

I agree to waive and relinquish all claims I may have as a result of participating in the program against Winnetka Community House and its officers, agents, servants and employees. I do hereby fully release and discharge Winnetka Community House 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. I further agree to indemnify and hold harmless and defend Winnetka Community House and its officers, agents, servants and employees from any and all claims from injuries, including death, damages or losses sustained by me or arising out of, connected with, or in any way associated with the activities of the program. In the event of emergency, I authorize Winnetka Community House officials to secure from any licensed hospital, physician, and/or medical personnel any treatment deemed necessary for my immediate care, and agree that I will be responsible for payment of any and all medical services required.

REFUND AND PRORATE INFORMATI ON Full refunds will be issued for courses that are cancelled by Winnetka Community House due to insufficient registration.

Due to advanced reservation requirements, no refunds for trips, outings, or special events will be given. Classes may be prorated if you would like to enroll in a class after it has started, provided the instructor has space, and allows for late registration.

Dear Community House Friend, “Boys – what should we do with them?” This was a major Winnetka dilemma in the early 1900’s. Newspaper articles complained that, by loafing around town, boys “disturbed the peace.” They got into “trouble.” They used “bad language.” When Winnetka Community House opened in 1911, it was inspired to “give boys a place to go.” Along with those boys, an entire community showed up, eager for friendship and activities. Here we are, more than 100 years later, still fostering a deep sense of community and acting as your gathering space… where people from the village and beyond come together for social and cultural events, sports leagues for children and adults, a world-class Fitness Centre and a full-size theater…where everyone is greeted with a smile and a sense of welcoming. We wouldn’t be here without you. Winnetka Community House is a not-for-profit that receives no tax dollars, so your role in supporting WCH is critical and very much appreciated. Join the Community Now! Donate online www.winnetkacommunityhouse.org/support/ or mail to: Winnetka Community House, 620 Lincoln Ave, Winnetka IL 60093 See you around The House!
