People for

CHANNAHON PARKS FOUNDATION

The People for Channahon Parks (PFCP) Foundation was formed in 2009. A 501(c)3 not for profit organization, PFCP solicits support for the Channahon Park District through volunteerism, gifts and grants, memberships, and planned giving opportunities.

Under a mission statement of “providing opportunities for the preservation of open space and the development of recreational opportunities within the Channahon Park District”, PFCP is an important asset to expanding the quality of life the area enjoys.

The Foundation Board of Trustees includes President Michael F. Rittof; Vice President Scott Slocum; Treasurer Noreen Dollinger; Secretary Charles Anfield; and Trustees Joanne Carnagio, John Cotter, Rick Hofer, David Landahl, Ronald D. Lehman, Raymond McSteen, David Rumsey and Jeff White. Honorary Trustees are George Barr and George A. McCoy.

The Foundation is working with the Park District to raise funds and develop the district’s newest park - Arroyo Trails, A Discovery Woodlands.

It is expected that the unique project will attract youth, families, schools, scouts, camps and others. Preliminary features include an outdoor classroom, interpretive stations, a shelter with restrooms, educational areas, and nature based play including a unique playground.

Committee members are now being sought to assist with fundraising. Anyone interested is asked to contact the Foundation’s Director of Development, Tami Sender at tsender@peopleforchannahonparks.org or call 815-521-3011.

Gifts to The People for Channahon Parks Foundation are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law. Contributions can be mailed to the Foundation at 24856 W. Eames Street, Channahon, IL 60410.

Children’s Theater Production – The Tortoise and the Hare Race Again NEW & FREE EVENT!

All Ages Welcome The Joliet Junior College Fine Arts Department 2016 Children’s Theater is proud to present The Tortoise and the Hare Race Again. In this play we see the story of the Rabbit’s life ever since he lost that race to Tortoise.

He’s sure he could win if they raced again, and with the help of his forest friends (who are all tired of hearing the same old story about why he lost the first time!), he finally gets Tortoise to agree to a re-match. On your mark, get set, GO! They’re off, racing through the forest. But wait, what’s this? The racers are having to dodge trash everywhere. And the air-sniff!

Something’s not right. It’s hard to breathe. The spectators try to help by offering the weary racers water from the river. But it’s polluted water that makes them sick! Does this mean the race is off? Will our forest friends have to leave their homes for cleaner pastures? The familiar tale of The Tortoise and the Hare takes a contemporary twist and presents an important environmental message for children of all ages.

The End

All Ages Welcome Learn how you can be an everyday superhero. Amy Logan author of “A Girl With A Cape” will motive us to be every day superheroes by using our superpowers of kindness. The book, “A Girl With A Cape”, introduces us to a little girl who wants to be a superhero, she even has a leopard-print scarf she wears as a cape. She wants to do something big to change the world, but what she realizes is that she is already making a difference every day, she is polite and kind.

Her actions cause others to act the same way; to pay it forward creating a ripple-effect of kindness. Amy will read her story and show kids that they can make a big difference everyday by doing little things.

This high-energy and interactive event will be 30 minutes long. After the presentation Amy will sell and sign her books. For more information please visit, www.gotyourcape.com.

WARNING OF RISK Recreational activities/programs are intended to challenge and engage the physical, mental and emotional resources of each participant.

Despite careful and proper preparation, instruction, medical advice, conditioning and equipment, there is still a risk of serious injury when participating in any recreational activity/program. Understandably, not all hazards and dangers can be foreseen. Depending on the particular activity, participants must understand that certain risks, dangers and injuries due to inclement weather, slipping, falling, poor skill level or conditioning, carelessness, horseplay, unsportsmanlike conduct, premises defects, inadequate or defective equipment, inadequate supervision, instruction or officiating, and all other circumstances inherent to indoor and outdoor recreational activities/programs exist. In this regard, it must be recognized that it is impossible for the Channahon Park District to guarantee absolute safety.

Waiver and Release of All Claims and Assumption of Risk Please read this form carefully and be aware that in signing and participating in the programs/activities you have indicated on the reverse side, you will be expressly assuming the risk and legal liability and waiving and releasing all claims for injury, damages or loss which you or your minor child/ward might sustain as a result of participating in any and all activities connected with and associated with said programs/activities (including transportation services/vehicle operation, when provided).

I recognize and acknowledge that there are certain risks of physical injury to participants in these programs/activities and I voluntarily agree to assume the full risk of any and all injuries, damages or loss, regardless of severity, that my minor child/ward or I may sustain as a result of said participation. I further agree to waive and relinquish all claims I or my minor child/ward may have (or accrue to me or my child/ward) as a result of participating in these programs/activities against the Channahon Park District, including its officials, agents, volunteers and employees (hereinafter collectively referred as “Channahon Park District”).

I do hereby fully release and forever discharge the Channahon Park District from any and all claims for injuries, damages, or loss that my minor child/ward or I may have or which may accrue to me or my minor child/ward and arising out of, connected with, or in any way associated with these programs/activities.
