MEMORIES... www.danville.ca.gov | For Fall registration dates, refer to page 2.

Creating and Collecting Memories I started my career 32 years ago this fall. I was a young recreation leader with no idea of what world I was about to step into. Who knew I would still be in this business all these years and grey hair later? It has been an incredible career journey which has enabled me to land in this amazing place known as Danville leading its Recreation, Arts & Community Services Department.

This journey hasn’t produced a bucketful of widgets or really any tangible product to sell over the years. That isn’t what we do in the wonderful world of Recreation, Arts & Community Services.

What we do provides what I believe, is so much more than a widget. We provide experiences that create lasting memories.

Through our programs and services we help people to learn, explore, create, achieve, delight, play, gather, exercise, and be outdoors, experiencing nature’s beauty and serenity. These experiences create and help to collect memories which last a lifetime. These memories are connections to something beyond a widget that shape us and make our lives and community better now and in the future.

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.

There will be a $5 processing fee assessed for each activity withdrawal.

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 made by check. We do not provide cash refunds.

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