A Message From the New Recreation Services Manager...

Jane Joyce

Jeffrey Jordan, Youth Representative

Stewart Proctor

Susan Ritner

I am fortunate to have been able to serve in the recreation profession for over 20 years beginning as a recreation leader through my current position as the new Recreation Services Manager for the Town of Danville. Over the years, I have seen firsthand the positive impact recreation experiences have had on the lives of many people and their communities.

It was through those experiences that a passion for teaching and sharing the importance of a life which includes recreation arose. One way to experience a recreation filled life is to participate in the special events which take place in the Town of Danville.

Kent Rezowalli

What is it that makes an event so special you ask? Here in the Town we recognize that it is the people in the community that make an event special. It becomes special because people take the opportunity to step away from their internet connections to gather and make face to face social connections. Whether choosing to attend the Senior Health Fitness Day, Moonlight Movies on the Town Green, Danville Fine Arts Faire, 4th of July Parade, Family Campouts, “Shop Local” events, or Music in the Park, a choice is being made to enjoy community. These special events help to contribute to the reputation of a small town atmosphere and an outstanding quality of life.

Summer time is a perfect time of year for people to play outdoors, enjoy nature, exercise to stay healthy, meet friends in safe gathering places, learn new skills and develop memories that last a lifetime as they recreate in their community. I invite you to look through this activity guide and participate in the program or special event that will help you find a life which includes recreation now and in the future.

I hope to see you at one of the special events!

I liked it when we went swimming and had BBQ’s each week. We exercised every day and my favorite exercise was playing dodge ball. I also really liked the field trips. My favorite field trip was to the water park, that was the best!

We both enjoy the Danville Bridge program very much.

Judy Lowe and Bob Collins are two great directors. They go that extra mile in making all the attendees feel relaxed and comfortable. Duplicate bridge can be very competitive.

Judy and Bob have great skills keeping the tension of competition at a minimum level. The Thursday Bridge provides a pleasant environment for both newcomers and “regulars” in such a wonderful gathering place.
