A National Gold Medal and Illinois Distinguished Accredited Agency s i h t e f i L e t a r b e l e C Holiday Season! Tribute Park at Volkening Lake Give the gift that lasts forever! A personally engraved pathway stone at Tribute Park is a great gift for friends, family and that special someone. Extra Large Stone - $150 Fullstone - $100 Commemorate a friend, loved one, pet or cherished memory forever in Schaumburg’s Tribute Park The tribute areas highlight Volkening Lake’s natural beauty. Join the District in support of this project by purchasing a memorial pathway stone. The bricks are placed throughout walkways of the park, and are a wonderful opportunity to give someone permanent recognition or commemorate a significant event. Pathway stones, available in three sizes, are permanently engraved with personalized messages. Proceeds from the project benefit the Schaumburg Park Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization. The purchase of a path stone is not limited to memorials. Other uses and honors include: Halfstone - $75 • Milestone birthdays • Anniversaries • Graduations • Recognize a civic group • Marriage proposals • Pets Commemorative benches also are available. The Tribute Park is part of Volkening Lake Recreation Area, located adjacent to Schaumburg Road and Salem Drive. It has ample parking, is accessible and hosts a number of events and activities throughout the year. The Park District reserves the right to refuse inappropriate words or phrasing. Happy Holidays!

Board of Park Commissioners President’s Message By Mike Daniels, President, Board of Park Commissioners It’s been quite a 50th anniversary year! On behalf of the Board of Commissioners, I’m extending a big thank you to the residents, organizations and agencies who celebrated with us. A special mention goes to the Village of Schaumburg. It was wonderful for the Park District to be the 2013 Septemberfest Parade’s grand marshal, and to be honored with the parade’s theme: “Congratulations Schaumburg Park District – 50 Years of Fun and Recreation.” You’ll find the final anniversary insert (years 2000-2013) in this edition of the program guide. I hope you’ve enjoyed the pictorial tour of the Park District’s formative years. Mike Daniels President And, looking toward the future…..there are many, many events, programs and activities planned for this winter. The Schaumburg Park Foundation’s annual Holiday Bazaar, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Dec. 3 at the Schaumburg Corporate Center, will feature local hand-crafted items and household gifts. The event is the perfect chance to find unique holiday gifts. For more information, visit www.schaumburgparkfoundation.org. Need another gift idea? Give the gift of fitness and fun this holiday season. Gift cards are available from the District and may be purchased at any facility and used anywhere throughout the District for registration and greens fees, food concessions, and at golf pro shops. The cards make a great present for every age! Sharon DiMaria Commissioner The District now offers one more way to stay connected! The ParkFun app for Android is available on the Google Play™ Store. This free application joins the app for iPhone®, iPad® and iPod touch® that was launched earlier this year. The free app, designed and developed by Links Technology Solutions, Inc., connects users with timely information about park locations, field conditions, facilities and fitness opportunities. For ParkFun downloads, visit www.parkfun.com/app. Many new programs will be offered this winter! Tummy Warmers will focus on warm and nutritious snacks for youngsters. Nature and Winter will allow exploration of the season’s beauty at Spring Valley, which also is hosting a Winter Solstice family celebration on Dec. 21. The holiday celebrations will be in full swing. Jolly Old St. Nick goes on tour Dec. 10 and 11! Make your Santa Visit reservation early as his calendar fills very, very quickly this time of year. Pups will have the chance to take a photo with Santa at Jingle Paws on Dec. 7. The “Twas a Saturday Night Before…” event returns Dec. 7 to the Community Recreation Center with a short musical and plenty of holiday characters. Christmas in the Valley Dec. 7 and 8 depicts how 19th century German-American farm families celebrated the holidays in early Schaumburg. And don’t miss Santa’s helicopter arrival and breakfast on Dec. 8 at Schaumburg Regional Airport. Other winter special events include the Dec. 7 Chilly Chili 5K Race at Schaumburg Golf Club, a Rudolph-centric event Dec. 12 and the tot favorite Itsy Bitsy New Year’s Eve Countdown on Dec. 31. David Johnson Commissioner George Longmeyer Commissioner After the holidays, it’s date night time! Moms and sons will enjoy pirate date night Jan. 18, and dads and daughters will have a swimmingly good time at under the sea date night Feb. 15. Don’t miss the preview of spring events so you can mark your calendar with events to look forward to as spring draws near and the cold begins to fade. It’s also a great time of year to visit one of the fitness centers, snowshoe at Spring Valley, swim at The Water Works, work with a personal trainer or take a fitness class. Those New Year’s resolutions are around the corner, and it’s not too early to get a jump on good intentions! On behalf of the Schaumburg Park District’s commissioners and staff, our best wishes for a joyous holiday season and spectacular New Year.
