30 YEARS OF SERVICE

COVER CLOSE-UP

Escondido Community Services has been the choice for recreational programming for generations of families in Escondido. Many of our community members that grew up in Escondido will recall two familiar faces on the front cover of our Fall Recreation Guide. This season we are proud to recognize Ballet Instructor Cindy Ahler, and Tae Kwon Do Instructor Master Leonard who each celebrate over 30 years of quality instruction with the City of Escondido. This milestone achievement is a tribute to each of their commitments to making this community a better place to live and play. Consider joining one of their popular Ballet or Tae Kwon Do classes this season listed in the Adult and Youth Class sections.
