“People Helping People”
It seems that summer always flies by so quickly, and September is just around the corner. This fall we will welcome some new activities to our vast array of programs including an “Ultimate Frisbee” Co-Rec pilot league for ages 16 and above. Using a flying disk, this team sport is played on a grass field with rules similar to touch football (see page 29). “Futsal Fun Day,” held on November 22, will help children strengthen their ball handling skills in soccer with a great and fun game. A demonstration and series of five-minute scrimmages are planned (see page 13).

A resource for recreation scholarships is the new Recreation and Parks Foundation. This 501c3 organization has incorporated to raise funds to support Recreation and Parks programs, facilities and open space needs for the citizens of Rockville. Donations to the Recreation  and Parks Foundation are considered a charitable contribution and are tax deductible (see page 68.) Your support through program registrations, “adding up” and donating to the Foundation will help those less fortunate attend programs with scholarship assistance.

This fall, we will continue our “People Helping People” campaign to assist those in our community who need it most. To provide much needed support to the Rockville Youth Recreation Fund, $1 has been added to each program costing $25-$99, and $2 is added to programs costing $100 or more. Added together, this small donation will help keep our fund active for those in need.

Have a great fall, “Choose Your Fun” and get active and fit for a lifetime of benefits.

Sincerely,
Betsy Thompson
Superintendent of Recreation
