A District gift card is the ultimate present and may be used for registration, greens fees, concessions and at the Walnut Greens and Schaumburg Golf Club pro shops. Gift cards are available for purchase at all facilities and never expire.

Busy Santa will also appear at Jingle Paws on Dec. 6 to pose for pictures with pooches and their humans. He’ll also be hanging out in Schaumburg Dec. 9-10 and making personal visits to lucky resident homes (p. 70).

Does your home feature the best holiday decorations in town? Enter to be featured on the District’s Holiday House Decorating Tour, or join the tour as a judge (p. 68).

Head to Spring Valley to hike the 135-acre nature sanctuary on snowshoes this winter! Rentals begin Dec. 1 and offer a great workout while experiencing the beauty of Spring Valley in the winter.

Browse the list of fitness classes on pages 51 and 52 to find the perfect program that will burn holiday calories and help you keep to your New Year’s resolution.

BODYPUMP returns to give you a 60-minute workout that challenges all major muscle groups while Training with Kettlebells improves strength, flexibility, balance and cardio! New fitness classes have been added this season for the District’s active seniors. Ageless Grace and BOSU Mobility and Stability provide workouts designed to assist and improve the aging process while still keeping participants fit.

Children will enjoy time off from school in the District’s winter break camps. This year’s camps will have participants playing with LEGOs, exploring Spring Valley and learning chess! Flip to page 75 for complete information on all winter break camps.

Football fanatics will prep for the Super Bowl at the Father and Son: Bock Bowl Sunday by making football crafts and playing in a friendly football competition!

Commemorative benches also are available.

The Tribute Park is part of Volkening Lake Recreation Area, located adjacent to Schaumburg Road and Salem Drive. It has ample parking, is accessible and hosts a number of events and activities throughout the year.
