What’s Happening at Recreation?

The first Mayor’s Costume Ball was held this past November and promises to be an annual success. The purpose of this event was to raise funds for the Youth Outreach Commission (YOC) Scholarships. There were over 100 in attendance, which generated $1,500 for the Scholarship Program. Our sincere gratitude and appreciation goes to the many volunteers and Commission members who made this fundraiser such a success!

The Annual Daddy and Daughter Ball rolled right into February without a hitch. We were bursting at the seams with over 200 dads and daughters dancing the night away! Our Annual Open House was moved to a Friday evening, and proved to be a great decision based on the number of attendees! In addition, we had another successful year at Breakfast with the Bunny and the highly anticipated Annual Egg Hunt. Candy-filled eggs and lots of great prizes shed big smiles on the little ones who participated. Most recently was the Annual Spring Tide Craft Show that provided over 100 crafters on a bright April Saturday. Everything from unique craft items, artisan pieces, jewelry, food, toys, clothing and so much more were to be found – it was impossible to walk away without a personal treasure.

Mark your calendars, as this summer will kick off many special events and programs for you and your family. Come enjoy the parties in the park, Rockin’ the Ville Summer Concert Series, Independence Day Celebration, and Movie Under the Stars to name a few. Don’t forget the incredible RomeoFest (August 2-5), which will hold TWO fireworks displays this year. A fireworks show will be held on the traditional closing night of the festival, but this year a fireworks show will also be provided on Friday night. Many thanks go to the volunteers in the community and the staff at the Parks and Recreation Department who work countless hours that weekend to make RomeoFest a huge success for our community.

We will be opening the Nancy Aldridge Memorial Pavilion in early summer. This pavilion was dedicated to Nancy Aldridge, Office Manager for the Romeoville Parks and Recreation Department, who lost her battle to lung cancer last December.

Included is a new pavilion with six picnic tables, two concrete bean-bag game sets, and shuffle boards – all ADA accessible.

This year marks the first full year for Boucher Prairie Park. If you haven’t been out to see it, you don’t know what you’re missing! Come check out the new splash station, basketball area, walking trails, fitness stations, in-line hockey rink, lighted shelter near the existing playground, a boardwalk and a wetland overlook with interpretative signage and native plantings throughout the park site. There is parking for 22 vehicles. This project was made possible in part by the $393,000 OSLAD Grant from the State of Illinois Department of Natural Resources.

The Village of Romeoville will be working in tandem with the American Cancer Society by hosting a Relay for Life event on Saturday, June 30th. Come out and show your support by participating in the event or to cheer others on! Opening ceremony begins at 2:00 pm at the Village Hall Grounds, 1050 W. Romeo Road, Romeoville. For more information, please check out the website at www.relayforlife.rog/romeovilleil.

As you page through the Summer 2012 brochure, make sure to mark your calendars for another busy and exciting summer with the Village of Romeoville Parks and Recreation Department!

ROMEOVILLE RECREATION DEPARTMENT --PARTICIPANT AGREEMENT NOTE: this agreement must be signed by all adult participants and must also be signed by a parent or guardian of any minor seeking to participate in any recreation department programs or activities.

WARNING OF RISK Despite the implementation of all reasonable precautions by the Department, an unavoidable risk of serious injury will always exist when participating in any recreational activity. Not all hazards and dangers can be foreseen. Participants and parents/guardians of minor participants must understand that certain risks and hazards will be inherent to participation in that activity, including but not limited to risks and hazards associated with inclement weather, slip and falls, overexertion and fatigue, disregarding safety rules and instructions, collision with stationary objects or other participants, poor skill level or conditioning, carelessness, horseplay, unsportsmanlike conduct, premises defects, inadequate or defective equipment, inadequate supervision, instruction or officiating. Accordingly, the Department hereby informs all participants and parents/guardians of minor participants that it is impossible for the Romeoville Recreation Department to guarantee absolute safety for all program and activity participants.

WAIVER AND RELEASE OF ALL CLAIMS AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK I acknowledge and assume the risks of property damage, accidents, injuries (including death), loss of bodily functions, disabilities, medical disorders, pain and suffering, lost income and medical expenses that arise from participation in any program or activity offered by the Department, and my use of facilities, transportation services, premises and equipment provided by the Department. I further acknowledge that the foregoing risks may arise from my own action or inaction, the actions or inaction of other program or activity participants, the conditions under which a program or activity is conducted, or from the negligent actions or inaction (including any failure to warn) of Department personnel, contractors or service providers. I also acknowledge that from time to time, the Village of Romeoville and/or the Department may take photographs of me participating in programs or activities offered by the Department for use and publication in various publications or media, including but not limited to the Village’s website, department program brochures or materials, and Village or Department informational, promotional or marketing materials, and I hereby expressly grant to the Village of Romeoville and the Department the right to use and publish such photographs as contemplated herein, all without compensation or payment for such use and publication. In consideration of being allowed to participate in programs or activities offered by the Department, I hereby release, waive and discharge the Village of Romeoville and its officers, officials, employees, agents, volunteers and contractors (collectively, the “Releasees”) from any and all liability and all claims of any kind whether for personal injury, property damage or death, arising from participation in any activity or program offered by the Department, or arising from the use or publication by Releasees of photographs of me participating in programs or activities offered by the Department, whether or not caused by the negligence of the Releasees or any of them and further covenant that I shall not sue any of the Releasees with respect to any such liability or claims. In the event that I or anyone else nonetheless makes a claim or files suit against Releasees arising out of any of the above-described matters, I will indemnify and hold Releasees harmless of and from any and all damages or judgments and costs of litigation, including attorney fees. The provisions hereof are to be construed as broadly as possible in favor of Releasees, and this Agreement as a whole shall be governed by the laws of the State of Illinois (without reference to the conflicts of laws rules thereof ). If any part of this Agreement shall be ruled invalid by a court having jurisdiction, the balance shall be enforced to the maximum possible extent. I am signing this Agreement freely and voluntarily, having read and understood it and with a full opportunity to consider its substance and with the intention of fully and unconditionally assuming the risks and releasing the liabilities as described above in this Agreement.

Returned Checks: If a check is returned unpaid, there is a $35 insufficient check fee in addition to the original amount of the check payable by cash or money order within 10 days. Failure to do so in the specified time will result in turning the check over to the police department for further action.

Program Cancellation: If the program is canceled due to insufficient registration, a full refund will be made through the Village within seven (7) to fifteen (15) working days.

Age Criteria Policy: Appropriate age levels have been established by our supervisors to ensure a rewarding experience for all children. Children must meet the age requirements of a class within two weeks after the starting date of the class (with the exception of Creative Play). Noncompliance with age requirements can result in removal from the program. The Recreation Department reserves the right to request a birth certificate if the age of the child is in question.

We Love Parents But...

All concerts will be held from 7:00pm to 9:00pm at Deer Crossing Park, 1050 W. Romeo Rd. The Neverly Brothers Thursday, July 19th

The Neverly Brothers: A Rock ‘n’ Roll Evolution – From Elvis to the Beatles! Fasten your seatbelts for a guided musical tour through rock ‘n’ roll history! The Neverly Brothers play all your favorite hits from 1950s American Rockabilly, Rock n’ Roll and Rhythm & Blues pioneers up through the 1964 British Invasion groups in an awe inspiring concert that will have you singing, dancing and thoroughly entertained. Dressed in period-perfect matching suits from each era, and playing show-stopping renditions of all the classics, these rockers have a look and a sound that will make you feel like you are witnessing rock history unfold before your very eyes and ears. And with rock ‘n’ roll history and trivia between songs, this is truly a one-of-a kind retro rock n’ roll MAGICAL HISTORY TOUR!

Mike and Joe Thursday, September 20th

Mike and Joe a is high energy modern rock cover band, and is one of most successful bands of its type in the country. The band plays music primarily from the ‘90s and 2000’s, with an emphasis on current modern rock radio hits. The band distinguishes itself in three ways; with excellent players, through deliberate song selection, and with spot on vocals. There is an element of musical integrity to this band that brings a concert like feel to the performance, as opposed to the usual gimmick driven party band.

The set list includes high-energy rock for the dance set, as well as performance driven selections that capture the imagination in a way that the typical ‘party band’ does not. The band does add a handful of 70s and 80s songs if the occasion calls for it, and is always mindful to create a unique set list that is appropriate for each event. For those looking for a very fun, mainstream, and uniquely talented band to entertain, Mike and Joe is a truly great find.

Components of Fitness To improve your overall fitness, it is important to have a balance of the five components of fitness. These components are:

1.

1 Cardio-Respiratory Endurance: The ability to do moderately strenuous activity over a period of time. It reflects how well your heart and lungs work together to supply oxygen to your body during exertion and exercise.

2 Muscular Strength: The ability to exert maximum force, one time. An example would be a one time lift of the 2. heaviest weight you can manage.

3 Muscular Endurance: The ability of a muscle or muscle group to repeat a movement many times or to hold a 3. particular position for an extended period of time.

4.

4 Flexibility: The degree to which individual muscles will lengthen and the ability to move a joint through its full range of motion.

5.

5 Body Composition: The proportion of fat in the body compared to the amount of lean mass.

Each group fitness program is labeled with the components it strengthens. Multiple components may apply to individual classes, or they may only have one. Sign up for all the different components to get a complete workout!
