Table of Contents Winter 2015 Grow into the best you...

I believe as we go throughout life, we are constantly growing and learning. During the holidays, celebrations, and the New Year, we tend to reflect on our past and look forward to the future. As you take the time to look forward this winter, I would like to challenge you to resolve to grow into the best you.

This challenge to becoming the best you is simply a way of encouraging you to take steps toward continuing to grow. Each of us can do this by becoming more active, learning something new, or volunteering our time and talents to help someone else. In doing so we are growing and making today better than yesterday.

The Town offers a variety of ways to help you to find just the right way to help you grow and learn through our programs and activities. I invite you to explore all the activities, events, and performances highlighted in the Activity Guide so that we can help you become the BEST YOU!

Residency Status Clarification

Course Cancellation

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 314-3400.

When registration falls 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. Check refunds may take 4–6 weeks.

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.

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

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 314-3400 for more information.

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 called.

Withdrawals (Credits/Refunds) Requests for withdrawal will be honored if requested no later than five business days prior to the first day of the class.

Requests made less than five business days prior to the first day of class must be submitted in writing and will be considered on an individual basis. A $20 processing fee will be charged for processing refunds.

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