Fall is upon us and it is time for co-ed
volleyball registration. All necessary forms are available to
pick up at the front desk at the park district headquarters.
Registration begins Sept. 6 and runs through Sept. 24. Fees will
include approximately 10 matches for the fall season. Play will be
on Tuesday evenings, starting Oct. 1, and is expected to run through
Dec. 3. This recreational league is a great way to get some exercise
and spend an hour with friends or co-workers. Come on out and enjoy
a great time.

As we experience cooler weather and shorter days, now is a good time
to "fall back into fitness." The Fit Zone personal trainers
have some special offers to clients signing up with them during
September. Oftentimes a trainer can serve as a great personal
motivator and also help set up a fitness program designed with your
goals in mind. Call the park district or stop in and check out the
offers. Basic dog obedience classes are being offered
again. The goal is to help families enjoy their canine companions by
providing basic training techniques. Obedience training is the very
best thing you can do for the relationship with your dog because it
helps establish your dog's place in the world and understand right
from wrong.
Timbercrest Veterinary Service and Railsplitter Veterinary
Wellness Center are teaming up with the Lincoln Park District and
Mike Bieser to help teach basic training techniques such as leading
on a leash, heel, sit and stay. Bieser is the owner of Canine
Training Institute and has trained police dogs for a number of
years.
Handlers must be a minimum of 8 years
of age. Proof of vaccination by a licensed veterinarian must be
provided before classes start. Vaccination requirements are as
follows:
-
Less than 4 months
of age: Distemper-Parvo (DA2PPv), Bordetella (kennel cough)
-
More than 4 months of age: Distemper-Parvo
(DA2PPv), Bordetella (kennel cough), rabies

Classes will meet on Sunday afternoons for four weeks, beginning
Oct. 13. The sessions will be from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. in the ballroom
at the park district complex. Cost is $50 per dog for district
residents and $60 per dog out-of-district. Timbercrest and
Railsplitter are offering $20 vouchers toward the cost of
registration. The vouchers must be picked up at Timbercrest or
Railsplitter and must accompany registrations. More details are
available at
www.timbercrestvet.com and
www.lincolnparkdistrict.com. The park district is getting contacts and questions
about some other early fall programs as well. The district will
still offer Junior Railer boys basketball. Registration will
begin in early October and close out in early November. Trunk or
Treat downtown with the mayor will be on Saturday, Oct. 26.
Halloween FunFest is still on the docket and is scheduled for
Wednesday, Oct. 30, beginning at Symphony of Lincoln and concluding
at the park district complex on Primm Road. More details on these
events will be coming as the time draws closer.
