From Roy Logan, program coordinator

[November 08, 2007]  Junior Railer Boys Basketball registration is going on now. This league is for boys in first through sixth grades. Get graded on dribbling, shooting, passing, one-on-one and three-on three this Saturday at the Lincoln Park District Sports Center.

Cost is $40 per player for in-district residents and $20 for each additional player from the same family. Games are played on Saturdays, beginning in December, and the season will run through February. Practices will be at the coach's discretion.

As fall approaches and the temperatures drop, we all need to think about exercising indoors. We offer numerous levels of opportunities for people of all ages and abilities. If you are a senior citizen (we start them at the young age of 60 out here!) use our indoor walking track anytime for just $1 per visit. If you have a membership, there is no charge. On the first and third Wednesday mornings from 7 to 9, we'll have the coffeepot on, along with orange juice and muffins. Marcia Cook, community nurse liaison from Christian Village, will check blood pressures and provide other information of interest on senior health issues

As we look for ways to socialize, let's get fit together! Join one of our group fitness classes today. We offer a variety of classes to fit your schedule and fitness needs, including step and floor aerobics, Pilates, weight training, spin (stationary cycling), plus so much more. Group fitness classes are fun, motivating, safe and effective. Morning classes are offered Monday through Saturday and begin at 8:30. Evening classes are offered Monday through Thursday and begin at 5:30 and 6:30. All classes are free for members having a circuit pass or full access. Schedules are available at the front or back desks.

Congratulations to our Halloween outdoor home decorating contest winners and participants. Honorable mention went to Duane and Laura Starks of 1286 Nicholson Road.

We plan to host a Christmas outdoor home decorating contest in December. Watch this column and our online site for more information and the opportunity to enter. You may access our site at www.lincolnparkdistrict.com.

A skate park planning and strategy meeting is being planned now for the adult volunteers. After that we will bring our young people in and renew efforts in fundraising and development. Funds that have already been raised have been set aside as we get closer to our goal. With a lot of volunteers we can make our dream a reality.
