Commercial Park

Just a reminder that registration for Winter Programs for the Chicago Park District begins online Monday at 9 am.  Check out the great programs to keep your kids active this winter.  There’s floor hockey and indoor soccer for the older kids and bitty basketball and tot tumbling for the little ones.  Of course another session of playgroup will begin again.  The playgroup begins at age 6 months. All tumbling and playgroup spots are online registration only. Walk-in registration will be Saturday at 9 am.  Call the park with questions.

Here is a great new opportunity for our Kindergarten and First Grade girls (minimum age 5).  Give your daughter the opportunity to make new friends in the neighborhood and have some fun!  Space is limit!  The Troop is also looking for parent volunteers so contact Patty Pena if you are interested in signing up or helping out.

The Commercial Park Christmas Party is fast approaching and we need your help to make it another success!  This year’s party will be December 5th from Noon-2:30.  There will be Santa, Card-making, cookies, raffles and of course carriage rides! We are looking for volunteers in a couple different ways:

* Help set-up on Friday the 4th or Saturday morning or clean-up after the party.

*Cookie Bakers needed – We hand out dozens and dozens of cookies so we really need your help to feed the sweet tooths!  Bake a batch or two of cookies and drop them off at the park on Thursday (Dec. 3rd) , Friday  (Dec. 4th) or Saturday (before noon).

*Volunteer to help our during the festivities.  We need moms and dads to work the Santa line,  help out with crafts and hand out cookies.  If you can give an hour of your time that afternoon we would love to have you.
