Registration Policies:
Because there has been such a large turnout for Yoga, Tai Chi and Line Dancing, we are now asking -- no, insisting! -- that you sign up in advance for these classes. Space is limited, but if you miss this month, there's always the next month. Each class session will be one month.
Residents will be able to register for the class the first business Monday of the month prior to the session and non-residents will be able to register the second business Monday of the month. For example: for classes in January, residents can register beginning December 3 and non-residents can begin registering December 10. Any open spots after the session begins will be on a first come, first serve basis.
Two ways to register on registration days:
- In person at beginning at 8 a.m.
- Via phone/email beginning at 8:30 a.m.
No registrations will be taken in person prior to 8 a.m. or via phone/email prior to 8:30 a.m.
For classes: Registration for self only. All participants that want to register must call or come by in person to register. No written registrations for other persons will be taken. No notes or emails will be accepted.
For trips, dances and pot lucks: One person can register for multiple people.
