Dear Resident,As we begin 2015, I would like to take a moment to reflect back on the past year . It has been a historical one for the Park District! The District ended the year of our 100th Anniversary financially strong . Staff has worked diligently to ensure that programming offered meets the needs of the community . Changes to current programs, expanded offerings, and new programs have resulted in a continued increase in participation . Drop-in attendance in 2014 at our facilities was 376,298 visits, which is a 16% increase since 2012 . In addition, enrollment in programs continues to exceed 30,000 participants annually since 2011 .

A few highlights of 2014 programs and facilities include:

• Athletics: A new youth lacrosse program was started last year; 94 boys and 43 girls played on Park Ridge Hawks Lacrosse teams in 2014 .

• Dance: In fall, our dance program added a new performance group, Ascension Dance Company . The inaugural group is 19 dancers strong .

• Golf: Both adult and youth golf programs have increased this year by an average of 13% .

• Skating: The hockey program is booming with over 1,000 players and a 28% increase in participation .

• Preschool: Preschool continues to fill a need in the Park Ridge community with 575 children enrolled in our program annually . While space limits our ability to expand, the addition of enrichment classes in 2013 has resulted in an increase in the program, and in 2014, 419 children participated in these programs .

• Music & Vocal: With 715 participants, this area has increased 54% in the past year .

• Summer Camp: We serviced 5,008 campers this summer!

• Beyond the Bell (before and after school program): In fall, the program was expanded to all District 64 schools . It is the second year the Park District is running the program, and the first year we are in all the schools . We now boast 722 participants!

• Wildwood Nature Center: Visitors to the Center increased from 8,340 in 2013 to 9,211 in 2014 .

• Senior Center: After experiencing a drop in participation in 2013, senior trips and senior fitness classes both saw an increase in 2014 . Trips by 34% and fitness classes by 29%!

• Community Center: Memberships have been retained and even grew a modest 5% over 2013 to total 4,611 individuals .

• Aquatics: Attendance at all the pools this year totaled 80,642 visits! A 54% increase from 2013 . Centennial Aquatic Center was certainly utilized by residents this year .

This increase in participation is due in part to the changes we make based on what you, our residents, tell us . Your feedback helps shape what we do . You will notice that our camp programs, listed in this brochure, are now offered in one-week sessions . This change is a direct result of what participants have told us in surveys . We hope this change will help you better schedule your summer .

There are many new programs offered this spring . When looking through the brochure, take note of the NEW symbols throughout . Some programs I would like to highlight for you are:

• The 2015 Oakton Ice Show, Heroes and Villains, April 24-26 - Always a spectacular event!

• The Annual Dance Recital, Dancin’ at the Hop, on May 16 - Our dancers have been working for months perfecting their routines .

• Adult Softball Leagues - Register your team by April 1 .

• Adult and Junior Golf Lessons - Now is the time to work on your game for this summer .

• Summer Pool Passes - Buy your pass in April, and you will receive two guest passes to bring a relative or friend to the pool with you this summer .

Spring is a time of new beginnings . This spring I hope you try something new at the Park District!

We are dedicated to improving the quality of life and through advocacy and awareness, promoting a successful leisure lifestyle for individuals with disabilities. Join us as we transform life’s challenges into opportunities.

About UsM-NASR, Maine-Niles Association of Special Recreation, serves children, teens, adults, and seniors with physical, mental, and emotional disabilities and their families through community recreation agencies .

From aquatics to camps to special events, M-NASR provides a wide range of recreation and leisure programs for people of every age, ability, and interest in our service area . We also offer inclusion services to anyone who needs assistance to participate in programs offered by member agencies .

M-NASR is an extension of seven member park districts: Park Ridge, Morton Grove, Des Plaines, Golf-Maine, Lincolnwood, Niles, and Skokie .

Inclusion PolicyM-NASR and our member agencies believe that all individuals should be provided with leisure opportunities that allow for performance at their highest level of ability . Although many people achieve this through participation in a M-NASR program, others have greater success in an activity held in their own recreation agency .

We adhere to the following principles when providing accommodations to allow for successful inclusion for individuals with disabilities in the activities of member recreation agencies: The interests and needs of an individual participant will be met, and the concerns of the family taken into account . M-NASR will support the member agency staff, and options and choices will be available for individuals with disabilities .

For more information on Inclusion Programs for Park Ridge Park District, please contact the ADA Supervisor at 847-685-4400 .

Attention...Individuals with Hearing ImpairmentsM-NASR has a relay system for individuals with hearing impairments who use TDDs . Information from all member park districts, including the Park Ridge Park District, is on file at the M-NASR office . This enables us to answer any questions a resident may have regarding park district programs . Please call the M-NASR office at 847-966-5522 (voice) or the Relay System at 800-526-0844 with questions .

Corporate Giving ProgramsDo you or someone you know work for an organization with a corporate giving program? These businesses have grant/fundraising opportunities in place for 501(c)(3) not for profit organizations like M-NASR . If you do, please contact us at 847-966-5522 . Sharing this information could provide immeasurable assistance to individuals with physical and mental challenges in your community .

The Liponi FoundationThe Liponi Foundation for Special Recreation was formed in 1990 to facilitate participation by children and adults with disabilities in recreation programs . If you are interested in supporting individuals with special needs by attending Foundation fundraisers or making a donation, please call Stella LiPomi, Foundation Treasurer, at 847-966-5522 .

You Can Help!Volunteers and part-time staff are integral parts of M-NASR’s organization, allowing many individuals to enjoy recreational opportunities who otherwise couldn’t . Become a part of this diverse community and have the personal satisfaction of improving the quality of life for people with disabilities . Call Erin Olszewski at 847-966-5522 .
