Greetings from Your New Lenox Community Park District

Time flies by when you’re busy, and like you, your Park District can’t believe the winter months are upon us. Before I continue with my letter, I must pause and say thank you to all of the people who donated, community groups, vendors and you, the people of New Lenox that made this past summer’s Proud American Days a success. Despite the cool weather and a change of location, Proud American Days was a weekend of fun for kids and adults alike. So again, thank you to all who attended and provided their support!

Usually my letter highlights new programs and projects within your Park District, but in this letter I want to focus on the importance of our volunteers and the future of your Park District.

Without a doubt, our volunteers are the biggest asset within your Park District. For example, your Athletic Associations consist of 100% volunteers. We lost our #1 Volunteer when Ron “Papa” Schaper passed away, but he set the benchmark for which many coaches are striving for. We have church groups, Boy and Girl Scouts, homeowner’s associations, school groups and many individuals who donate their time to build shelters, put down playground mulch, build planter boxes and do general beautification projects within your parks.

At your Sanctuary Golf Course, our volunteer starters go beyond their regular “duties” by providing key labor in the construction of our new deck, painting the clubhouse and switching over the GPS in our new golf carts. Within our Recreation Department, volunteers are essential! A prime example is with our Children’s Basketball Program; currently we have over 100 volunteer coaches for this program alone. I have a list of other generous volunteers that could be cited, but the point is that without the support of our volunteers, your Park District would only be able to offer a fraction of the programs that we currently provide.

So, what is in the future for your Park District? Our future looks bright! We have a professional and dedicated staff that is constantly pushing the limits to offer the best programs to meet your needs, while at the same time, being mindful of working within a limited budget. Further, because your Park Board of Commissioners and Park District Staff are good watchdogs of your tax dollars, we have received the highest award in government reporting of financial accounting every year for the past five years. This is no small feat!

We currently have an opportunity to improve your Park District Capital Improvement Program without increasing your taxes. We need your support to do it. Inside the center of this catalog is a pull-out which will explain what we can do with the CURRENT tax dollars that are available. Please read it in its entirety and, if you have any questions, please call the Park District office or contact any of your elected commissioners for an explanation. We will be glad to answer all of your questions. Remember, Parks Make Life Better!

Sincerely,

Brian FisherPresident

Due to priority registration of current 3 year-old Kiddie Kampus participants, there are limited spots available in the 4-year-old Kiddie Kampus program.

What does Kiddie Kampus offer its participants?

Children learn many things before going to kindergarten. The New Lenox Community Park District offers preschool classes designed to develop social, emotional and physical skills to ensure school readiness. A child’s separation from parents and involvement with a non-family member is one of many major steps towards his/her development. Kiddie Kampus provides a safe and supportive environment for your child’s first school experience while increasing his/her self-esteem and confidence through age appropriate instruction. Covered during the year are color, shape and number recognition, an introduction to number concepts and letter recognition. Your child’s quest for learning will be nurtured through creative play, building friendships, working individually and cooperating as part of a group. These activities promote patience, sharing and the awareness that there is a whole world of people surrounding and supporting them. Songs, stories, activities and games are used for reinforcement and fun.

What requirements are necessary for Kiddie Kampus registration?

1. A copy of your child’s birth certificate MUST be provided at registration. A child must be four (three for the 3-year old program), on or before Sept. 1, 2014 and must be able to handle bathroom hygiene independently (potty trained, no diapers). It is very helpful if the child is able to zip/button independently.

2. A $50 non-refundable registration fee, $10 T-shirt fee and first month’s tuition will be collected, beginning Saturday, March 22 from 8:00am-11:00am, when you pre-register your child.

3. A voter’s card or tax bill is required at registration for verifi-cation of residency.

Our Kiddie Kampus follows New Lenox School District #122’s calendar year for all full days off except for our Winter break.

Kiddie Kampus 2014-2015 Before you make that important step of choosing the right preschool for your child, come for a tour of our facility and see what we have to offer! Our staff will be on hand to give tours of their classrooms and answer any questions you may have. Come and meet the teachers and see what we are all about! Children ages 3-4 (as of 9/1/14) are eligible for this program.

Program Requirements

• Children must be the correct age by 9/1/13, unless otherwise specified. In order to provide your child with the best possible recreational and/or learning experience, all of our programs are planned according to the ages listed in our brochure.

• Classes are for child attending only, except for classes with an adult. Parents should not remain in the classroom or gymnasium after dropping off their child. This is in the child’s best interest, as continual interruptions tend to affect participant’s attention span and inhibit the establishment of peer relationships.

• All children must be potty-trained, unless they are attending a class where an adult stays with them or otherwise stated in the class description. Diapers are not permitted in independent classes unless stated in the class description.

• Please do not bring food to any class, unless previously arranged.

• For your children’s safety, all children enrolled in preschool-age programs must be picked up from the specific classroom or program site by their parents or designated guardian. No child will be released from the classroom to anyone other than these individuals.

• A mandatory sign-in and sign-out procedure for all participants is required for all Park District Programs.

Stay up to date! Send your email address and we will send information regarding existing and future Park District programs.

NEW LOCATION & DATES

Hello TO ALL OF OUR PARK DISTRICT RESIDENTS

As your current President of the Park Board, I wanted to take this opportunity to keep our residents informed of the upcoming referendum. This information is crucial so that your satisfaction with the services and programs provided by YOUR Park District remain of the highest quality. We have successfully partnered with our residents and have listened to your requests and suggestions. We hope you agree that New Lenox Community Park District’s advancements and financial responsibility is one that can be judged a success by all families that utilize our amenities.

With prominent realities plagued by the current economic status of the State of Illinois, it is now more important that the partnership with our residents remains strong and vital. No longer can we rely on state grants as a single sourse of funding to continue the growth and development of recreational opportunities and amenities in our Park District. We invite you to allow us to maintain and not increase the level of property tax percentage you have entrusted with us. In 2015, The Sanctuary Golf Course debt service will be paid off. If those dollars that previously were used in payment of the Golf Course Bond are retained and dedicated to other Park District Capital Projects, our vision for the future remains bright with possibilities:

• Park development for those subdivisions that have been patiently waiting.

• Renovate parks needing updated equipment and safety measures and to further ensure ADA compliance.

• Upgrade facilities such as Lions Community Center and Sanctuary Golf Course to maximize use by constantly evaluating and updating infrastructure and energy efficiency.

• Purchase Open Space for additional recreational amenities.

• Build a sports dome for 24/7 programming.

• Expand ALL programs from early childhood to seniors.

As the additional information on pages 30-32 will outline, retaining a small annual amount of each household is vital to your Park District and its overall goal being improvement of the quality of life in our community. As our partner in this journey, I hope to see you at the voting polls on March 18, 2014.

Thank You,

Brian FischerPark Board President

VOTE MARCH 18

Visit www.newlenoxparks.org for details on this referendum and voting details.

On March 18, your vote will allow us to continue to provide and expand quality recreational opportunities.After 2015, the bonds issued to build The Sanctuary Golf Course will be paid off. The Park District is seeking your approval to keep approximately .06 cents ($.0620) of taxing authority otherwise it will be lost as payment is completed. It will NOT increase your tax rate. For example, with a $250,000 home value, the typical annual saving will be $48 or a family’s night out for pizza.

THE RESULT

A YES vote does not increase the Park District’s property tax rate.

A NO vote results in over a $746,000 yearly reduction in available funding to maintain and expand your parks and facilities.

THE EFFECT

The referendum will ensure that our residents continue to benefit from the services, recreational opportunities and facilities we provide. It will help us to continue to serve by offering first class services and experiences.

WHAT WILL THE FUNDS BE USED FOR?

CAPITAL PROJECTS will be the only fund that will experience the increase. It will not be used for operational costs, such as salaries, staff benefits, utilities, supplies, etc. The future vision would be to improve, as well as add additional facilities allowing for expanded programming and services, park enhancements, land acquisition to maintain open space and ADA compliance.

HOME VALUES

As a homeowner, research shows that home values can be 20% higher with the strength of neighborhood parks near a home thereby maintain its value and potential buyers find your home and this area desirable.

For only the average price of a few large pizzas, you can help us continue improving our community for your family and future generations to come.

Kundalini Yoga uses a series of movements and breath exercises that create mental and physical endurance that are designed to help relieve stress, depression symptoms, insomnia, increase mental clarity, as well as help with weight control while improving strength and flexibility.

Chanting is used to help center our minds and to assist with breath exercises. Kundalini Yoga is lifelong practice that has tremendous health benefits. This class is great for people who like variety, need low impact exercises that still build strength, and are looking to reduce stress. Each class is unique, focusing on different muscle groups. All levels of experience and flexibility are welcome! For your comfort, please come to class on an empty stomach (eat 2 hours before class) and wear loose fitting clothing.
