Fall 2012The Parks & Recreation Department has had a jam-packed summer loaded with a variety of events and programs! For starters, our annual RomeoFest was a huge success, and we couldn’t have done it without you! All of the staff and volunteers put their heart and soul into making this a grand event for the entire community, and I congratulate them on job well done! RomeoFest provided four fun-filled days with a variety of music, entertainment, carnival rides, two evenings with fireworks, and so much more.

This summer we unveiled a new pavilion site located behind the Recreation Center. The Nancy Aldridge Memorial Pavilion was dedicated to a Village employee who lost her battle with cancer late last year. The area is inclusive of two areas for bean-bag toss, shuffle board as well as a covered pavilion for picnicking. For more information about this wonderful individual and her contributions to the community, please see page 17.

Sunday, June 10th, turned out to be a scorcher of a day. However, that didn’t stop over 100 vehicle owners from showing off their fabulous wheels at the annual Car Show. All types of cars were on display – antiques, muscle cars, classics, custom autos and more! To add to the event, there was also a micro-reality race held by P&G Speedway. Kids loved having the ability to remotely maneuver a small vehicle around a track and get the feel for the road!

Plans are underway to bring you a new park! Murphy Park, which is located alongside the Edward “Doc” McCartan Veteran’s Memorial, is in the planning phases – providing another opportunity and location for families to recreate. We’ll keep you updated on its progress.

Romeoville’s Cinco de Mayo 5K Race brought out more runners and walkers than ever before, a whopping 259 participants to be exact! For spectators, there were refreshments and food available for purchase, and piñatas to entertain the kids. It was a great time and very satisfying to see all of the kids enjoying the playground equipment at Deer Crossing Park.

Did you get a chance to join us for one of our Movies in the Park events? We provided three family-friendly flicks, which drew in crowds to enjoy under a star-filled evening. Much cheaper than any movie theatre outing, particularly since these events were free to all attendees.

If evening movies are too much for your little ones, we hope you were able to participate in one of our three Park Parties. We held our “Country” themed Park Party where kids learned how to lasso and line dance. Our second party was a “Garden” theme at which kids were able to plant flowers in their very own flower pot. The final Park Party was the “Green” theme at which kids were taught how to fish at Lake Strini. These organized events provide great opportunities to get your children outdoors, to enjoy the parks, meet new friends, and at no cost to participate.

A Festival, Movies, Park Parties, 5K Race, Car Show and more?! “Rockin’ the Ville” is Romeoville’s foot-stomping, summertime, musical bashes that are provided on four different dates and free to all attendees. Different bands with varying sounds play for your enjoyment at the amphitheater located behind Village Hall. If you didn’t get a chance to attend, don’t fret. There are two remaining concerts right around the corner, which will complete our summer line-up of activities. Concerts for August 16th and September 20th are still on the calendar. Pack up your lawn chair and come join us for a great evening of music and fun!

The staff at the Parks and Recreation Department have had a great time coordinating and planning these special events (in addition to offering an array of classes and programs at the Recreation Center), all for your personal enjoyment. We hope you were able to join us, and would love to see you at the two upcoming concerts! Please read through this brochure for a new season of classes, programs and special events. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call us at (815) 886-6222.

WARNING OF RISKDespite 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 RISKI 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.

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.

and assumes no liability for personal injuries or loss of personal property

while attending Recreation Department activities. A participant’s own

policy must cover any medical costs incurred.

Toilet Training Policy:Children enrolled in a Romeoville Recreation Department program for

ages 3 and older must be toilet trained unless it is a parent/toddler

class. Recreation Department programs stress the importance of

children practicing their independence and we do not aid children in

the bathroom. Our instructors are not responsible for diaper changing

or toilet training. The Recreation Department reserves the right to

deny participation by a child age 3 or older if they are not toilet trained.

We Love Parents But...With your child’s best interest in mind, parents are invited to their

child’s last class meeting only. Our instructors always welcome the

opportunity to discuss a participant’s progress with parents at any

time. Thank you for your cooperation.

Inclusion Aides:Tri County Special Recreation Association provides qualified staff

to help assist the Romeoville Recreation Department’s community

recreation leaders in providing recreational programs for children and

adults with special needs in a safe environment.

Inclusion aides assist participants with activities provided through

the Recreation Department and with any accommodations needed

to make sure it is an optimal experience for participants. If your child

needs assistance in a program, please mention this on your registration

form or upon registration.

Resident Rate Passes:Resident Rate Passes are available for non residents who wish to

register for classes at a resident rate. These passes can be purchased

for $100/household and will allow non residents to register for classes

at the resident rate during the last three days of the registration period

(walk-in registration only). Resident Rate Passes are good for one year

from the date of issue. These passes are eligible for all recreation classes

and open gym; they do not apply to the Birthday Party Packages or

All concerts will be held from 7:00pm to 9:00pm at Deer Crossing Park, 1050 W. Romeo Rd. Snacks and

refreshments will be available for purchase.Spoken FourThursday, August 16thSpoken Four delivers astounding performances that’ll make your jaw drop. With a repertoire of songs from the 50s to today’s Top 40, Spoken Four’s vocalists and musicians have mastered every word, every nuance, every soaring note that lifts audiences to their feet and gets them dancing like there’s no tomorrow.

Chicago concerts. Private parties in Barcelona. Corporate events for over 4,000 people. Wherever they go, Spoken Four brings together some of the finest musicians to create productions that make audiences shout for more. Their versatility, energy, and ability to engage a crowd all night long makes their events the one people talk about for years. And quite possibly forever.

Created by the supremely popular Chicago live band Maggie Speaks, Spoken Four is there for you, delivering with high–quality sound, experienced performers who keep an audience energized for hours, and DJ–style medleys of crowd favorites that make sure no one ever wants to leave the dance floor.

Mike and JoeThursday, September 20thMike 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.

GROUP FITNESS CLASS SCHEDULE

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

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

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

particular position for an extended period of time.

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

range of motion.

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!
