ResponsibilitiesThe Chicago Heights Park District assumes no responsibility for injuries or loss of personal property while attending a Park District-sponsored activity or facility. We ask that all participants in Chicago Heights Park District programs carry their own medical insurance. Though we make every effort to minimize situations that could lead to injuries, accidents can happen. Group coverage through the Park District is not available because the high costs of medical insurance prohibit us from offering quality programs at their current low rates.

Waivers of LiabilityTo participate in any Chicago Heights Park District program, you must sign a waiver releasing the Park District of any liability.

With your child's best interest in mind, you are invited to attend the last class of the session. Thank you for your cooperation.

It’s time to make lemonade out of lemons! Your stuck at home, so how do you and your family stay healthy, lower stress and get through the boredom during this time? Well here are some fun tips and activities for you and your family to enjoy:

•Get your EXERCISE and some vitamin D while planting a “Family Garden.” This is a win-win for you and your family while looking forward to a beautiful bounty of veggies.

• Get some great HEATHY RECIPES and cook together. If you chose to plant a garden, you can cook veggies from your home garden.

• Start a “FAMILY BOOK CLUB”. Just check out some of the latest books to download and have your family to read. Then pick out a time to discus the book with your family. This can be done with your family and friends via skype or conference call. Be creative!

• FAMILY EXERCISE TIME! Set aside 30 minutes a day to do various excises with the kids, maybe try a Foot Race. If you are part of a competitive family, then why not make exercise go right along withthat?Youcanset-upafinishlineand a start line in your yard. Then, as a family, race each other to see who can beat the other’s time. Do it repeatedly for a full 30-minute workout.

•PLAY A GAME. You can play fun games like Twister or Red Light, Green Light to get your whole family moving.

•Plant some flowers. Again, this is great exercise and very relaxing. This is something you can do alone or with the family.

Civic duty and community impact.Your organization is already active and involved in your community, and promoting the 2020 Census can increase your community impact exponentially. Talk to residents and your members about completing the 2020 Census—the count of everyone who lives in the United States.

Responding to the census is important.

The 2020 Census will influence funding for community services for the next 10 years. Data from the census helps determine where more than $675 billion is spent each year in states and communities. That includes money for things like:

› Housing and food assistance

› Libraries and community centers

› First responders, like firefighters

› Medicare and Medicaid

› Hospitals

› Schools

Responding is easy.

Beginning in mid-March 2020, people will be able to respond to the census online, by phone, or by mail. They can choose the option that works best for them.

Responding is safe.

Personal information provided on the census is kept confidential by law. An individual’s responses can only be used to produce statistics. They cannot be shared with law enforcement agencies or used against people by any government agency or court in any way.
