President’s Message

by David Johnson, Schaumburg Board of Park Commissioners

With an array of exciting activities, amazing facilities and hundreds of acres of beautiful parks, the newly re-accredited Schaumburg Park District offers many ways to Take Time for Fun this spring!

The District again has been recognized for excellence in services, facilities and management with its second accreditation by the Illinois Association of Park Districts and the Illinois Parks and Recreation Association.

Accreditation is based on an extensive review of all District policies and procedures, and is renewable every five years. A team of evaluators from throughout Illinois visited the District in October to meet with staff, tour facilities and review operations.

The District was graded for its adherence to best practices in general management, finance and business operations, facilities and parks, personnel, recreation services and legal compliance. Having earned scores exceeding the requirements, evaluators unanimously recommended accreditation.

And there’s so much to do and experience this Spring.

Swing into the season at the 27-hole Schaumburg Golf Club (p. 49) and ninehole Walnut Greens Golf Course (p. 52). Whether just learning the game, or an experienced golfer, our beautiful courses are the perfect place to spend time outdoors.

The Schaumburg Park Foundation’s popular Solstice Hop and Vine Fest (p. 2) is back at a new location! Come to Meineke Park on June 18 for a night of wines, beer and tasty food. Tickets now are on sale at www.active.net. Proceeds benefit recreation scholarships and other Foundation projects.

As flowers and plants bloom, Spring Valley (p. 64) is a great place to recharge and enjoy the outdoors. Explore more than 135 acres of prairies, woodlands and wetlands; or step back in time to a rural German farm community at Volkening Heritage Farm.

Nature lovers will delight in one of the many educational programs offered including Breakfast with the Birds (p. 67), Owl Prowl (p. 67) or Lil’

Park Board Meetings

Treehuggers (p. 68). Don’t miss special events including the annual Sugar Bush Fair (p. 71) on March 12 and 13; Springtime on the Farm (p. 73) on April 17; Backyards for Nature Fair and Native Plant Sale (p. 74) on May 1; and the Spring Valley Country Fair (p. 75) on June 11 and 12.

Spring is a great time to get back into a workout routine! Group fitness classes at the newly renovated CRC, including TRX and Spin and more, are a great place to start. Check out the Health & Fitness section for assistance on your journey to a better you.

Fun and active early childhood classes capture children’s attention and provide valuable learning opportunities. Classes are available with and without parents and cover a variety of topics including Dr. Seuess, Dinosaurs, and music (pgs. 40-46).

Schaumburg Idol (pg. 35) is back for another season! Stardom awaits at this annual competition where local singers showcase their voices. Auditions are April 28 and competition tapings begin in June.

Spring marks the return of the Bunny! Everyone’s favorite hopping friend stops into the March 19 Bunny Bash (pg. 72), makes resident home visits (pg. 72) March 22 and swims with kids during egg hunts at the March 24 Underwater EGGstravaganza (pg. 72) at The Water Works.

Family-friendly special events presented with partner organizations are double the fun! Drop in to A Garden of Diversity (pg. 73), presented by School District 54 on April 9 or the May 22 Fahrrad Tour Von Schaumburg Bike Ride and Picnic (pg. 74), organized with the Village of Schaumburg.

Northwest Special Recreation Association

Providing Recreation Services to Individuals with Special Needs The Schaumburg Park District is proud to be a member of the Northwest Special Recreation Association (NWSRA). Throughout the northwest suburbs, NWSRA is the leader in providing outstanding recreational opportunities for children and adults with disabilities. NWSRA’s team of full-time therapeutic recreation professionals and trained part-time staff offer a multitude of year-round program offerings including sports, camping, social programs and more. Having fun, being included, making friends, learning new things and going new places are just a few of the benefits of NWSRA programs!

Inclusion assistance is provided by NWSRA to those individuals who wish to participate in their home park district program. When registering, the parent of an individual with a disability should inform the Park District (and NWSRA, if desired) of any accommodation needed in order for the individual to successfully participate in the program. Park District staff will contact NWSRA for assistance with the accommodation.

Special Leisure Services Foundation, the fundraising arm of NWSRA, partners with public and private corporations, foundations and individuals to support and promote outstanding recreational opportunities for children and adults with disabilities. Throughout the year, the organization hosts a variety of fundraising events that help support accessible transportation, general programs, inclusion opportunities, the Kevin T. Kendrigan Memorial Scholarship program and NWSRA Lightning Athletes.

The Schaumburg Park Foundation supports the mission of the Schaumburg Park District by raising funds at events and through direct donations. Funds are used primarily to support the Schaumburg Park District’s recreation scholarship program which provides funds for family memberships, programs and events to those who might not otherwise have the financial ability to participate in District activities. The Foundation also supports community-based projects such as the renovation of the museum at Spring Valley Nature Center. For additional information on the Foundation or scholarships, visit schaumburgparkfoundation.org, or call 847/985-2115.

A athletics The Brave Way Self Defense Seminar Give us 2 hours and we’ll teach you and your family to defend yourselves.

Originally certified by the State of Illinois to teach police officers, it’s one of the easiest to learn and most effective self-defense classes you can take. The techniques we teach will stop an attacker immediately; don’t require constant practice or years of training to master, and work regardless of your age, size, strength, speed, skill or physical ability. You’ll learn to anticipate and avoid potentially dangerous situations and to defend yourself if needed at work, home, dating, when traveling, and more. You’ll learn: defenses against armed/unarmed attackers; single/multiple attackers; standing/ground techniques; and rape defense/prevention. Participants also get a Personal Safety Guide to help make you and your family safer in all areas of your lives. The class is targeted at teens and adults, but 8-11 year olds can sign up and take the class with an adult. This class could save your life!

Seussical Jr. is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.MTIShows.com

Transporting audiences from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus, the Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust containing tiny people called the Whos, including Jojo, a Who child who gets in trouble for thinking too many “thinks.” Horton’s challenge is not only to protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must also guard an abandoned egg that’s been left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping, and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family, and community are challenged and emerge triumphant! Seussical JR. is great fun for the whole family.

Andrew Lloyd Weber and Tim Rice musicalize the Biblical saga of Joseph whose brothers are jealous of their father’s favoritism toward him and the beautiful coot he receives as a gift. The sell him into slavery in Egypt, telling their father he has died, but Joseph becomes second in command in Egypt through his ability to interpret dreams. This musical has a variety of style from country-western and calypso to bubble-gum pop and rock ‘n roll.

World-renowned actor and comedian Buddy Hackett was a lifelong friend of the Rat Pack. Together, those five guys were the epitome of cool, ruling the Las Vegas strip and creating a smooth style that’s still emulated today. Now, years later, Buddy’s son, Sandy Hackett, and his crew of crooners are bringing the boys’ timeless Vegas show to the Paramount stage, reminding everyone that the Rat Pack is still one of the hottest acts around. Critics have been saying it for years; with Sandy’s personal connection to Frank, Dean, Sammy and Joey, this show is the closest you’ll ever get to seeing the boys back under the stage lights.

See Jupiter and its four largest moons through a telescope, find out why Polaris is so special, and learn why astronomers like the spring sky best.
