Important Updates & Information Programs:
The Baca Center will not offer official programs December 22 through January 1. We will use
this time to clean out closets, cabinets and do an inventory of equipment. Please make sure all
program cabinets are checked and cleared of any food. Any food not in a sealed container, will
be thrown out. Programs wishing to still meet during this time will be responsible for their own
set up of their room and equipment. Your regular room may not be available due to cleaning.
Trips:
The trips for February-May will be in the January/February Baca Buzz. Registration will take
place beginning Tuesday, January 9 at the center or online at: www.roundrockrecreation.com.
Please make sure your e-mail address and phone number are up-to-date. Our new system auto-
matically sends an e-mail reminder of any upcoming trips you are registered for two days in ad-
vance. The e-mail will come from PARDcustomerservice so also check your spam mail. We send
important information regarding trips via e-mail and call if you do not have e-mail. Please
make sure you check your e-mail or phone messages. Trip times may need to be changed from
time to time so if we e-mail or leave a message it is your responsibility to make sure you arrive
on time for trips. The bus driver is to stay with the bus and is only responsible for safely trans-
porting to and from trips; the driver is not able to be a tour guide nor a personal caretaker.
NEW Parking Lights:
The new colored lights in the parking garage are to indicate whether the space is available for
parking. Green means availability; red means taken and the blue lights are strictly for those
with a disabled license plate or a disabled placard. Please make sure you ONLY park in areas
with a green or blue light overhead. Yellow striped areas are not parking spaces.
