As always, sign-up early so you don't miss out on the activities you are interested in! Just a reminder as we've been advertising for the past 90 days, there will be a $2 surcharge applied to your account for any activity you register for and no show/no cancel. This isn't meant to be punitive, it is to encourage you to give a courtesy call to cancel when you can't make it to an activity. Many programs have a long waitlist and when you don't cancel, we can't fill your spot. This problem has been growing, with some activities having as much as 25 percent of registered attendees not showing. In addition, almost all programs offered here are subsidized with tax dollars. For example, you may have paid $7 for a dinner and entertainment that cost the center $14. Please be courteous and call to cancel when you can't make it. This will allow everyone the opportunity to attend the programs offered at our center.
