Table of Contents • Spring 2024 BLOOM WHERE YOU'RE PLANTED Hello, Bloomers!

S

pring has sprung! Thanks to the rain, we now have colorful flowers that are starting to poke through the ground, the days are now getting longer and there’s a freshness in the air.

Yes, the blooming season may also bring with it those pesky spring allergies, but it just means it’s preparing us for warmer weather and has us dreaming of those summer days. This blooming season gives us the anticipation of the memories that will be created as we live and play.

We hope that your New Year’s resolutions are still in full swing… if not, that’s ok! There’s plenty of time left in 2024 and we’re here to help with our spring opportunities. We have an opportunity for you to try something new, advance a skill, get outside, go on an adventure, or meet new people. The list is endless. And you don’t have to go far! These opportunities can be found right where you’re planted here in Danville. No matter what you're looking for, we are ready to help you grow.

Plan both your spring AND summer with this activity guide. From classes to special events and summer camps to aquatics, it’s all happening here and for all ages. Take advantage of this fresh beginning by finding what opportunities you’d like to accomplish this year.

The Learn to Swim program offered by the Town requires the demonstration of specific skills for each level.

Additional skills are listed on our Lesson Certificate and may be used as prerequisites for progression. You can find complete skill charts for each level available online for review to assist in level placement. Participants are expected to be consistently proficient in most, if not all, the listed skills and be able to complete the Culminating Skill Assessment on demand to move to the next level. If a participant is unable to do so, the staff may recommend changing to a different level that matches the demonstrated skill set. Please see chart on Page 6 of Culminating Skill Assessment per level.

youth

School break program

Designed for the youngest programmers, our "Junior Programmers" course introduces children to the fundamentals of coding through playful exploration. As they bring dancing characters to life and create their very own interactive games, our little coders naturally develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. But this is more than just a coding course—it's a platform for self-expression and creativity, fostering curiosity and a love for learning. And don't worry, we don't spend all our time in the digital realm! Our course also includes a mix of unplugged activities and organized play, ensuring a well-rounded, engaging experience. By the end of this journey, your child won't just have taken their first steps into coding, they'll have the tools to grow and thrive as curious, lifelong learners.

Code For Fun instructors are experts in Computer Science and make all sessions fun and engaging for all students.

YOUTH

The Town of Danville is proud to team up with an official NFL Flag organization to present our FIRST annual ALL GIRLS Flag Football league! With the addition of Women’s Flag Football added to our local high schools, we wanted a place for girls to learn the sport and develop skills to bring with them into high school play. Our league is beginner based as many have not played flag football before. We are dedicated as well as NFL Flag to creating more opportunities for female athletes to participate in youth sports and learn this on the rise sport. No games on 5/27. Each player will receive an NFL teambased jersey (included in your fee). Volunteer coaches will distribute at practice. Players should wear athletic shorts and cleats or athletic shoes (depending on the field). This league consists of 8 – 45 minute games on Sundays & 2-4 practices throughout the season. This league will be coached by volunteer coaches.

WINNING THE RACE BETWEEN TIME AND MONEY: RETIREMENT PLANNING FOR 2024 Age 55Y & Up | Town Staff

At this live workshop, John Lau will show you: How IRAs are different from other accounts and what their impacts are. How the SECURE Act has changed beneficiary planning for retirement accounts. How inheriting an IRA account does not automatically stretch out the 10year distribution unless your beneficiary does one more thing… how an IRA Beneficiary Trust can help save income and estate tax; how a Charitable Remainder Trust IRA beneficiary can help stretch out distributions. How relocating your IRA to life insurance may parlay your retirement accounts to a large tax-free estate, and whether to convert or not to convert (to Roth IRA).

Having a blast on National Pizza Party Day is no pie-in-the-sky idea.

Although mainly thought of as an Italian dish, pizza has seemingly existed forever. The ancient Greeks used to flavor their flatbread with oils, herbs, and cheese, while Persian soldiers used to bake their own pizzas on the hot surfaces of their shields. Traditional pizza is also known as Neapolitan pizza, and it originates—as the name suggests—from Naples, around the middle of the 16th century.

Italian immigrants later introduced the dish to their new American compatriots, and eventually, pizza became the savory crowd-pleaser we know it to be today. Join us for a Pizza Party and lets celebrate all things pizza!

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.

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.

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.
