Table of Contents Fall 2023 DISCOVER A NEW TALENT… Hello there, Danville!

I want to be among the first to welcome you into the fall season. So…WELCOME! After a few glorious months of soaking in the sun, discovering new benches, visiting beautiful sunny parks, and adventuring through your own stories, it’s time to cool off this Autumn.

The fall often brings renewal, and deadlines, especially with the start of a new school year, not to mention pumpkinthemed desserts, warm clothes, and plenty of festive holiday activities. In addition to the change in season - I have a unique challenge for you. One that might not come easily at first, but with a little exploration and determination… It might sneak up and surprise you.

This Fall, I urge you to discover a new talent! For example, who knew I was capable of close-up magic? And artful thinking? Cutting paper and posing exquisitely? Not I! (Proof is in the picture above) This fall, get out there and find something that makes your heart sing! Maybe it’s something you’ve always wanted to try.

Maybe it’s something you never saw yourself doing or did not have the chance (or excuse) to humor your desires. I say, do it!!

Our Activity Guide has a catalog filled to the brim with activities and classes for all ages. Find something that interests you and your loved ones. Spend the season learning a new language, picking up a guitar, and pouring over the displays in our gallery, and I bet you might discover your own natural talent.

Challenge yourself this fall! Find something that excites you.

Let your talent shine!

Voilá. That’s it from me.

WHAT SHOULD I DO BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS TO ME? Age 55Y & Up | Town Staff

Mortality is a natural part of the cycle of life. You can make things a lot easier on yourself and your family if you get everything in good order before something happens to you. By doing so, it ensures that things are organized so your estate can be preserved against unnecessary taxes and costs, and others can know what you want to happen when the need arises, whether it is incapacitation or death.

At this workshop, John will review the following: Health and longterm care coverage, Estate planning and conservation, Retirement Distribution Planning, Protecting your heirs from creditors, exspouses, and spendthrift with IRA trusts and Income Tax Reduction Planning and Investment Planning After Retirement.

We'll also give an update on the new Mitigation in Rating Plans and Wildfire Risk Models and how hardening your home, property or business impacts you.

Policies & Procedures GENERAL INFORMATION Pre-registration with payment is required for program participation. Payment must accompany registration form.

The Waiver of Liability on the registration form must be signed prior to taking a class.

Advise Town staff if participant has a disability or allergy requiring special accommodations.

Class registration form may be sent ahead of registration date. All class registrations submitted prior to the first day of registration will be entered on the appropriate registration date, with no priority given.

PHOTO/VIDEO LIABILITY DISCLOSURE Photographs and video may be taken of participants during a class or program, and these photographs and video may be used for Town of Danville publicity purposes.

RAINOUTS AND CLASS MAKE-UPS Whenever possible, make-ups will be given on those occasions when inclement weather or instructor illness requires that a class be cancelled. See instructor at next scheduled meeting for make-up date.

No refunds (whole or partial) can be given for classes missed by the student.

WAITLISTS Waitlists will be created once a class has reached maximum enrollment. If space becomes available, you will be contacted.

AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT

WITHDRAWALS (CREDITS/REFUNDS)

In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Town of Danville encourages those with disabilities to participate in our programs. If you have any special needs that require specific accommodations so you can fully enjoy our classes and programs, call (925) 314-3400.

Requests for withdrawal will be honored if requested no later than seven business days prior to the first day of class. There will be a $5 withdrawal fee assessed for each activity.

A $20 processing fee will be charged for processing refunds made by check. We do not provide cash refunds.

COURSE CANCELLATION

Requests made less than seven business days prior to the first day of class must be submitted in writing and will be considered on an individual basis.

When registration winters below the minimum enrollment required, it may be necessary to cancel a class or program. At the time of cancellation, the Town will initiate a full refund-minus transaction fee. Check refunds may take 4–6 weeks.

Withdrawals for sports leagues may be approved if a team can be replaced before the first game.

RESIDENCY STATUS CLARIFICATION Those living outside the Danville Town limits include residents of the communities of Alamo and Diablo, Alamo Creek, Bettencourt Ranch, Blackhawk, Bryan Ranch, Monterosso, Shadow Creek and Whitegate housing developments.

The program and facility fees cover a large portion of the actual costs, though Town of Danville residents also partially support the classes, events and facilities through their property tax assessments. Because of this, those program participants and individuals reserving Town facilities who live outside of Danville pay an additional non-resident charge. If you have any questions about this information, call (925) 314-3400.

Special Notice to Alamo Residents living in the Alamo County Service Area R-7A: all R-7A residents are eligible to register for Town-sponsored programs scheduled at Hap Magee Ranch Park during the resident registration period. Non-resident fees still apply for these classes and activities. Call (925) 314-3400 for more information.
