Dear Resident,
The residents of Itasca enjoy a community that offers them so much more
then garbage pick-up, snow removal, water, sewer and a scenic atmosphere.
What Itasca also provides are opportunities to take memories with you for the
rest of your life. Do you remember the dress you bought 3 years ago? The
2nd cell phone? A DVD from last year? Your 4th car? What the Itasca Park
District and the Village of Itasca offer you is the chance to have a bank of
memories that will live on in our mind for many years to come. How about
when your son had his first hit in little league? Your daughter danced in her
first recital? When you first swam the entire lap at the pool? Go Dolphins!
How about that soccer goal that took 3 years to make? You either were on
that team or on the sidelines cheering them on and jumping for joy with
their accomplishment. You finally finished the aerobic class without gasping
for breath. Do you still have the craft project on display in your home? I
remember how my thighs burned after the adult tap class
session and how I hoofed my way through the dance recital.
My husband and I still talk about the ballroom dancing
lesson we had that brought tears to our eyes from laughter.
The Itasca Park District and the Village of Itasca combine their efforts to
bring to the residents of our community events that memories are built
upon. Oktoberfest this year was a prime example. People were talking
about the successful weekend way after the last brat was eaten. Most
recently, the revamped Halloweenfest was a great success with the family
event, two kids’ dances and the New Haunted House. Over 450 people dared
to enter the transformed Recreation Center. Fun was had by all! Santa
coming to the Village Hall is highly anticipated for the children of our town.
How many eggs are found at the Easter Egg Hunt? We all cheer on the
participants in the Memorial Day Parade and mourn those who gave so
much for our freedom. ItascaFest is a great tradition. National Night Out
attendance increases every year. The Itasca web page lists upcoming events.
Our brochure has the upcoming seasons activities listed as well. Our
programs offer you a chance to build those memories either
alone or with your family and friends.
As time goes on we cherish memories so much more than
material objects. Just listening to our grandparents talk
about their life experiences reinforces the fact that we are
building them as we live now.
Memories light the corners of our mind forever. The Itasca
Park District and the Village of Itasca will keep giving you the
opportunity to build upon them.

Kiddie Korner
In partnership with Crayola and based on child-centered learning principles,
Abrakadoodle provides comprehensive, educationally sound art education to
children ages 20 months to 12 years old. Our lessons are based on the works
and techniques of either master or contemporary artists and include: Monet,
Picasso, Rembrandt and O’Keefe, to name just a few. Abrakadoodle’s on-going
continuous curriculum emphasizes the importance of creativity—all while
having fun! Children create wonderful “masterpieces” using innovative art
materials, while exploring artistic styles and techniques. Each series of lessons
offers unique experiences designed to foster creativity—never the same lesson
twice! Each child will take home a framed piece of art after each class—
labeled with information about key concepts or vocabulary introduced each
lesson. For more information visit our website at www.abrakadoodle.com.
Mini Doodlers
Children develop their creativity through carefully designed lessons that
ignite the imagination and develop skills. Using real artists’ materials
including watercolor, tempera paint, creative tools and more, the children
create masterpieces that are truly unique. (SS)
