Road Rally Looking for an adventure? If so, you are sure to enjoy the challenge of the 29th Annual Road Rally! Grab your neighbors and friends to create a team of four adults per vehicle. Each group is given a map and a bag of clues, but only teamwork, logic, and luck will keep you on track. Some clues are helpful while others are designed to throw you off course. This exciting, and somewhat physically challenging, four-hour scavenger hunt on wheels will test your mind, body, and teamwork, so put on your thinking caps and start your engines! At the completion of the rally, teams will gather for an awards presentation and socialize at a pizza dinner. This fun-filled event is a cooperative effort of the Bolingbrook, Downers Grove, Lisle, Naperville and Woodridge Park Districts, so space is limited. Letters will be e-mailed to each team captain around the second week of April.

By taking a driver safety course you’ll learn the current rules of the road, defensive driving techniques, and how to operate your vehicle more safely in today’s increasingly challenging driving environment.

You’ll learn how you can manage and accommodate common agerelated changes in vision, hearing and reaction time.

Additionally, ice skating will also be available at Lake Carleton, pending weather conditions and the safeness of the ice. Six inches of solid ice across the entire lake is considered safe for skating as long as no snow is present.

Dance & More Zumba Kids Jr.

PRESCHOOL

Zumba® Kids Jr. classes are a dance ‘n’ play party for lil’ feet where pintsized party animals get silly, dream big and begin their journey to a healthy future. This program is where 4-to 9-year-olds just let loose and be themselves, little bundles of natural energy that are endlessly curious about new sounds and experiences! Here they can socialize, move to age-appropriate music and play games with other kids. This is a cooperative program with the Lisle Park District.

Creative Movement

Dance Kids USA presents a specially designed program to encourage your child in dance, mime, creative movement, music education, ballet, jazz, tap, gymnastics and performance. Your child will gain confidence, rhythm, better coordination and balance; all while exercising his or her memory and having fun. There is no specific dress code; however, we find that girls enjoy leotards and tights and boys prefer active playwear (t-shirt and shorts).

Tae Kwon Do

Shotokan Adult Karate

Tae Kwon Do is a Korean Style of combining the hands and feet in a method of unarmed self-defense. Instruction is centered around physical conditioning, a series of patterned movements that develop grace and coordination, and controlled sparring and self-defense practice. Black Belt instructors teach proper technique in these areas, monitor all students practice, and provide a structured teaching environment for students of all ages. Tae Kwon Do can bring out a heightened sense of confidence, physical awareness, and well-being in each and every student. All students begin at the rank of white belt.

To advance to a higher belt or rank, the student must demonstrate his or her abilities at periodic promotional examinations held at Kim’s Black Belt Academy. Note: Uniforms are available through the instructor.

Player Information

GIRLS SOFTBALL SOUTHWEST SUBURBAN LEAGUE

In an effort to provide an alternative to our 8 - 10 game in-house program, we are again offering the opportunity to play in the SWS League. The SWS originated from the fact that while many communities offer in-house programs through all age levels, participation at the older levels might often be too low to make an in-house-program viable. By combining teams from other communities, participants are able to play a full schedule.

The Southwest Suburban league plays an 18 - 20 game schedule and games are usually split home and away. Some of the other communities include Bolingbrook, Downers Grove, Naperville, Plainfield and Romeoville. The season starts in late April and runs through June. We will be offering 10U, 12U and 14U teams. Those that have played in the SWS previously will receive priority over those that are new to the program if they register by Monday, February 3.

SEE PAGE 46 FOR PROGRAM LOCATION, DATES, TIMES AND FEES.

Uniform shirt, shorts, socks, team picture, award, and much more are included with the fee.

Umpires Needed If you know of anyone 14 years or older who would like to be an umpire, call (630) 353-3300 for more information.

Sponsorship Opportunities Promote your organization while giving back to the community by sponsoring a girls’ softball team.

Contact Dan Peboontom, Athletic Supervisor at (630) 353-3300 or via email at dpeboontom@woodridgeparks.org for more details.

In an effort to provide an alternative to our 8 - 10 game in-house program, we are again offering the opportunity to play in the SWS League. The SWS originated from the fact that while many communities offer in-house programs through all age levels, participation at the older levels might often be too low to make an in-house-program viable. By combining teams from other communities, participants are able to play a full schedule. The Southwest Suburban league plays an 18 - 20 game schedule and games are usually split home and away. Some of the other communities include Bolingbrook, Downers Grove, Naperville, Plainfield and Romeoville. The season starts in late April and runs through June. We will be offering 10U, 12U and 14U teams. Those that have played in the SWS previously will receive priority over those that are new to the program if they register by Monday, February 3. Age is as of January 1, 2015.

Billy Elliot the Musical - Oakbrook, IL

This musical is based on the 2000 film Billy Elliot. The music is by Elton John, and the book and lyrics are by Lee Hall, who wrote the film’s screenplay. The plot revolves around motherless Billy, who trades boxing gloves for ballet shoes. The story of his personal struggle and fulfillment are balanced against a counter-story of family and community strife caused by the UK miners’ strike (1984-1985) in County Durham, in North- eastern England. Hall’s screenplay was inspired in part by A. J. Cronin’s 1935 novel about a miners’ strike, ‘The Stars Look Down’, to which the musical’s opening song pays homage.

We will travel to Drury Lane on the Park District bus, lunch is served prior to performance. Choose from salmon fillet in lemon tarragon sauce or roast strip loin of beef in merlot mushroom sauce.

Co-op Facilities

If you see any suspicious activities in progress at a park site, please alert the Police Department immediately at 911. If vandalism has already occurred, please call the Police Department at (630) 719-4740 and notify the Woodridge Park District at (630) 353-3300.

Woodridge Park District has cooperative agreements with the Darien, Downers Grove, Lisle and Westmont Park Districts to offer cooperative programming at nearby facilities. The Woodridge Park District remains committed to this tradition of cooperation to bring the best possible recreational opportunities to our residents at the lowest possible cost.

The Park District is now sponsoring a program specifically targeting arson prevention through the new Arson Tipster Award Program. The Arson Tipster Program rewards residents for providing information that leads to the arrest of the arson perpetrator or conspirator. All communication between the Woodridge Park District and the Arson Tipster is kept strictly confidential. The Woodridge Park District will not release or disclose any information furnished by the Arson Tipster without the Tipster’s explicit consent and approval. Arson Tipsters may be eligible for a cash reward.

Waterfowl Concerns Regular feeding of waterfowl can cause dependency on people for food, bird and people conflicts, and the spread of disease. Please refrain from feeding the birds at Lake Carleton and Lake Harriet along with other lakes in the area. The waterfowl have become used to handouts and no longer migrate south in the winter. The once wild birds have become tame and have lost their fear of cars and people, which can lead to traffic problems and possible injury. With the growing populations of waterfowl in small concentrated areas, the competition for food is high.

The less nutritious handouts and harsh weather increase their susceptibility to life threatening diseases. We ask that you please do not feed the waterfowl. Thank you for your support. For more information, please contact the Woodridge Park District at (630) 353-3300.

We are committed to giving the residents of Woodridge quality programs at reasonable prices, and we are prepared to stand behind the programs we offer. If you are not completely satisfied with the program after attending two classes, stop by the Community Center before the third meeting to fill out an “unsatisfied” refund form. We will invite you to repeat a class at no charge, receive a credit toward another program in the session, or receive a full refund (minus $5 administrative charge).

No refund will be granted after the third meeting of the program or after 50% of the classes have been held (whichever is earlier) with the exception of a written medical excuse prior to completion of the program. A $5 administrative charge will be deducted from the amount of refund for each program, including refunds for medical reasons. Medical excuses will result in a pro-rated refund based upon the number of classes held prior to the date listed on the physician’s excuse. No refunds will be given for a trip unless there is a replacement participant or the trip is cancelled. The Park District does reserve the right to cancel a program if the enrollment is not sufficient to justify sponsorship of the activity.

2. Refrain from using abusive or foul language.
