friends, family and that special someone.

memory forever in Schaumburg’s Tribute Park
The tribute areas highlight Volkening Lake’s natural beauty. Join the District in support of this

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

• 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

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.

All private music classes start the week of Jan. 5 and end the week of
March 30.
One-on-one instruction is a very personal method of learning. The instructor
has the luxury of total attention to the way the student learns best. Concepts
can be introduced and worked on until they are mastered and the pace is set
by your child’s attention span and desire. The goal is to make music study fun,
attainable and low pressure while giving students skills for a lifetime. Private
lessons are 30 minutes each week.
Continuing students will receive the barcode to register for the next
session from the instructor. Registration must be done in person.
Assume the time remains the same unless other arrangements have
been made with instructor.
New students will be added as space becomes
available.
Beat the drums! Drumming is beneficial to hand-eye coordination
and physical well-being. A drummer’s heart rate during a concert
can get as high as a professional soccer player!
