From Your Executive Director
As you receive this brochure, we all will be looking forward to
winter ending. Often people will say to us: What does the park
district do in the winter?
Well, my response generally is that “it begins our busiest time
of the year!” Yes, there is a lull between Thanksgiving and the
New Year, but afterwards it’s an increasing climb and fast pace.
Some of the highlights of this winter include:
Board Meetings
Your personal participation is an integral part of this
decision-making process. The Park Board meets the
second Tuesday of each month at the Corrine J. Rose
Administrative Center, 2000 Belvidere Street. You are
always welcome to attend.

Park Patrol in Waukegan Parks
As you enjoy our parks this year, you may see a Waukegan Police Officer on patrol. They are
acting as Park Patrol Officers for the Waukegan Park District. The District contracts with the
Waukegan Police Department for off duty officers to serve as Park Patrol under the direction
of Sgt. Joe Kreppein. They provide daily coverage of all park sites during the summer months.
Park Patrol works to maintain safe parks for all residents and visitors through professional
policing, ensuring compliance of the District’s rules and regulations. They monitor Park Use
Permits, assist the public with questions and concerns, and provide support for special
events, like Halloweenfest and the American Independence Parade and Festival.
These officers serve as a link between the Parks Department and our park guests, through
effective communication and diligent responsiveness. The Parks Department issues Hot Spot
bulletins each week, outlining the weekend’s special events, rentals, and directing attention
to park sites where community complaints have been received. They report vandalism to
the Parks Department, prioritizing issues that require immediate attention, such as graffiti
removal or property damage. Their efforts ensure that our citizens are safe to play, celebrate,
and recreate in our parks!
Park Patrol and the Waukegan Police Department are valued partners to the District.

Controlled Burns in Our Parks
The State of Illinois Environmental Protection Agency approved
and issued a permit to the Waukegan Park District to conduct
controlled burns in certain designated natural areas. Controlled
burns are conducted between the months of November and April,
weather permitting. Controlled burns are used to improve and
maintain native plant communities and wildlife habitats.
Burning in Roosevelt Park
Periodic fires were once common on the Illinois prairie. Few native
plant habitats remain since these fires were eliminated many years
ago. The trend now is to reintroduce fire back into the woodland
and prairie ecosystem to control growth of invasive species such as
buckthorn and garlic mustard while making conditions favorable
for native plants to regenerate and thrive.
Controlled burns are a part of our ongoing maintenance program.
The fire will pose no threat to life or property, nor woodland and
wildlife because of the slow burning characteristics of the fire and
monitoring by trained staff and experienced burn contractors.
Notification of the exact time and date shall be made to the local
police and fire department as soon as these are set. If you have
any questions or would like more information concerning the
controlled burn program, feel free to call the Parks Department
at 847-360-4725.

Baseball in Waukegan
The first organized recreation in Waukegan was baseball. The forming of
the “Base Ball Club” in April 1859 was a big deal in Waukegan. Around the
country, the new sport was being played in large cities so it was fitting that
the newly incorporated (February 23, 1859) city of Waukegan followed.
The first members of the club paid a fee of 50 cents (around $15 today) to
join. The first baseball game in Waukegan was played on a Saturday afternoon on flat land below the bluff on the lakefront. Teams were comprised
from members of the club and many of the players were some of the city’s
most prominent men.
Many citizens gathered to witness the first game. All who participated
enjoyed the game but many admitted that they did not yet know the
rules of baseball.
Over time, baseball continued to be played and its popularity grew in
Waukegan. Vacant lots were turned into neighborhood ball fields and the
game was even played during the winter months in large buildings downtown. Many teams were created and the local clubs even played exhibition
games against the Chicago White Sox and the Chicago Cubs.
Over the last 150 years, numerous individuals have played important roles
in promoting local baseball. Some notables include Thomas McCann, Dr.
Eugene P. King, and the volunteers of the Waukegan Baseball Association.
McCann brought together the best players in Waukegan in the early 1900s.
These players had come from different countries to work in the Waukegan
factories and many did not share the same language and there were often
times of tension. Despite this, McCann was able to bring these players together on the ballfield.
In the 1930s and 1940s, Dr. Eugene P. King helped to ensure that African
American youth in Waukegan had opportunities to play sports including
baseball. Dr. Eugene King’s motto was “to make men and women out of
boys and girls through clean, wholesome athletics.”
Volunteers with the Waukegan Baseball Association installed lights at
Grosche Field in Bowen Park in 1966. Their hard work ensured that the
dream of a lighted ball diamond in Waukegan would become a reality.
Baseball, truly a favorite pastime in Waukegan continues to this day with
games found on ball diamonds and fields throughout our numerous parks.

Introducing Parks and Planning Department
of the Waukegan Park District
Tim Girmscheid, Manager of Planning Services
Tim Girmscheid, Manager of Planning Services, coordinates the District’s planning initiatives for development
of parks, recreation areas, and facilities. As part of his responsibilities, Tim oversees the development and
implementation of the Waukegan Park District’s 2015-2020 Parks and Open Space Master Plan. The Master
Plan is a guide for commissioners and staff to envision and design the District’s future infrastructure. The plan
has been developed to be responsive to the community and consistent with the Mission, Vision, and Values of
the Park District. When a park is identified for renovation or redevelopment, Tim works with internal and
external teams to identify potential uses for the park. These include landscaping, playgrounds, and site
amenities such as, shelters, grills, restrooms, water fountains, sports courts, and parking. He coordinates
with consultants, neighbors, and partners to ensure the needs of the public are met.
Tim also identifies potential land acquisitions to create new parks or expand existing parks. Recently, Tim
coordinated the Park District’s purchase of a 7.5 acre parcel of land on Yorkhouse and Cashmore Roads. The
property is located in the Park and Open Space Master Plan’s Northwest Planning Area which had an
identified need for Community Park acreage. In addition, Tim coordinates grant applications for park
development and restoration.

Time and location to be determined
Tim began working at the Waukegan Park District in August 2013. After graduating from the University of
Illinois with a degree in Park Management, he worked for the Park District of Highland Park managing all of its
natural areas for 14 years. He moved to Conserve Lake County where he managed natural areas and developed
their Land Preservation Program. He worked there for 12 years and enjoyed developing
partnerships to conserve open lands and reaching out to landowners who want their
lands to remain open and natural. Tim is a 2015 graduate of NRPA’s Green School and
just earned his Park and Recreation Professional Certification.

OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU
Tim says the most interesting, challenging and rewarding aspects of his job are to
redevelop parks in neighborhoods that are in the most need. An example is the King
Park Conceptual Redevelopment plan, which included input from nine community
organizations, to create a park with community gardening as a theme. Tim’s passion,
creating vibrant parks and conserving open space for the public to enjoy, is his daily
work. He says, “It can’t get any better than that!”

The Importance of Oak Trees in Waukegan
“The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn”- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Oak trees have captured the hearts and imagination of human beings for centuries.
These trees represent strength and stature, clean the air and water, and reduce air
temperature, flooding, and energy usage. Oak trees in parks provide enjoyment and
opportunities for recreation and education for all ages. In Illinois, oak trees are a
keystone species. They create the framework for a stable ecosystem that has provided food, shelter, and energy for many species, both human and animal, for thousands of years. Waukegan itself has historically supported high quality and diverse
oak woodland habitat. If you visit Bowen Park today, you can get a glimpse of what
Little Fort looked like to early settlers.
In 2015, Governor Rauner declared October “Oak Awareness Month”, citing the importance of restoring and protecting this species. As outlined in the Chicago Wilderness Oak Ecosystems recovery plan, we have lost more than 80% of the original one
million acres of oak ecosystems that occupied our region. Not only are there fewer
forests, but when scientists visited our remaining forests, they observed old oaks
that are doing well and many seedlings, but few saplings or juvenile oaks present in
our modern woodlands. Most new oaks do not live to maturity. A number of organizations, including the Waukegan Park District, Chicago Wilderness, Lake County Forest Preserve District, Morton Arboretum, and Chicago Botanic Garden are working to
ensure we will have giant 300 year old oaks for centuries to come.
If you visit the Bowen Park forest and ravine, you will see daylighting, invasive management, and re-vegetation work in practice. This project, funded under a USEPA
Great Lakes Restoration Initiative Grant, was coordinated by the Waukegan Park District and the Waukegan Harbor Citizens’ Advisory Group. Other partners working to
restore the site, now recognized as one the highest quality habitats of its kind in Illinois, include the Chicago Botanic Garden, Lake County Forest Preserve District,
Chicago Wilderness, and Illinois Audubon Society. Non-native and invasive trees
have been cut down to return necessary light to the ground, critical to the successful
growth of saplings, as well as native flowers and shrubs. Invasive plant species that
crowd out and impair the growth of natives have been managed with great success.
Maintaining the health of our oak woodlands will ensure threatened and endangered migratory birds, butterflies, amphibians and other forms of forest life found
in Waukegan remain healthy and abundant. We are ensuring the existence of these
iconic and important habitats for future generations.
The Waukegan Park District will be planting 100 trees during its Centennial and
many of those will be native oak trees. Seedlings will be distributed again this year
at the District’s Arbor Day Celebration on Friday, April 29, 2016. Celebrate Arbor Day
and help the environment by planting a tree in your yard.

My kids loved their classes.
The instructors make class fun which
made it easier for them to learn.
–Deanna Williams
Sharks & Minnows #20402101
Parents with Infant or Toddler
Age 6 months-3 years
This class helps you and your child relax and enjoy the water through the use of
games, songs and activities. Both the parent and child will learn water safety techniques to become comfortable in the water.
SwimSmart
SwimSmart is different than traditional swim lessons. The number one goal of
SwimSmart is to increase participant safety and comfort in water and the secondary
goal is to teach swimming strokes and techniques. From parent/tot through adult
lessons, participants learn ways to be safe in various bodies of water. They first
learn how to be safe and save themselves before they perfect swimming strokes
and techniques. SwimSmart students progress through classes based on demonstrable skills. Parents will receive a written progress report at the conclusion of each
class. Participants receive completion magnets to display their progress!
Indoor Swimming Lessons
Swim lessons will be offered Saturday mornings at the Ann M. Kiley
Developmental Center on 1401 West Dugdale Road in Waukegan. The
SwimSmart program will emphasize water safety and enhance swimming abilities.
For Your Benefit
• Register Online or at the Belvidere Recreation Center, Jack Benny Center, and The
Field House Sports and Fitness Center. It’s convenient and easy!
• Our Instructors are well trained and friendly.
• Low student/instructor ratios mean more individualized instruction.
• A Swim Lesson Coordinator monitors lessons to ensure quality programming and
address questions and concerns.
• Skill level and age are considered for proper placement of swimmers.
Make-Ups
In the event of pool closing or cancellation, the make-up session will take place
one week after the last scheduled date of class.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many kids are in each class? Parent with Infant/Toddler: up to ten
children; Preschool: up to 5 children; Level 1 & 2: up to 8 children.
Do I have to stay during my child’s lesson? Since lessons are up to 45
minutes long, we ask that you stay for the duration of class.
Can my children that are not participating in lessons swim? No.
During lesson time there is no open swim. Only those registered for
SwimSmart may enter the pool.
Are there locker rooms? Yes.
Is the pool heated? Yes.
How do I know if my lesson has been cancelled? You will get a call from
the Waukegan Park District if lessons are cancelled.
What should we bring to lessons? Participants should bring a lined swimsuit, towel and goggles. Children who are not potty trained must wear swim
diapers under their swimsuit. Cloth and disposable diapers are prohibited.
Disposable diapers become heavy and fall apart in the water.
If my child misses a class, when are the make up lessons? We only have
make up lessons when the Park District cancels a class.
Who can I talk to about my child’s progress? You are welcome to talk to
the Swim Coordinator or Supervisor about your child’s progress.
Helping you to prepare for a lifetime of safe water fun!

The Benefits of a Performing Arts Education…
•…performance teaches young people to conquer fear and to take risks
…allows for the expression of ideas and emotions that cannot be
expressed in language alone
…promotes knowledge and understanding of the historical and
cultural contexts of the arts
…provides opportunities for students to make connections among the arts
…students of the arts learn to think creatively and to solve problems by
imagining various solutions, rejecting outdated rules and assumptions.
Questions about the arts do not have only one right answer.

NEW! The 2015/2016 Children’s Connection Preschool Enrichment Program is a
combined age program for children 3-5 years old. It offers a two or three day

cutting, tracing, and writing children will become independent, self-confident,
happy learners. Children’s Connection promotes an environment where children

Recommendation–Secure Your Spot Today!
Parents, we strongly recommend that you secure your camp spots for the summer
early. Camp registration began February 9. If you plan to attend one session or
all sessions of camp, we are happy to receive payments in segments, so long as
full payment is received for each session by the required deadline.
To assist parents with their schedules, we have a Multiple Fee Payment
Method as an option. This option takes the stress out of mailing in payments
and avoids the possibility of incurring late fees if you can’t make it in on time
or forget to make a payment. Canceling this option requires written notification.
Please inquire about this option and its guidelines at the Belvidere Recreation
Center at initial registration time.
PLEASE NOTE: FIELD TRIPS AND THEMES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE BASED
ON AVAILABILITY.

everything they have, making each and every day your child’s best day ever.
Through camp, your child can gain self-confidence, learn to make good choices, and
develop their social skills in a fun and exciting environment. We have designed four
two-week sessions of fun and learning for your preschooler in forms of some very
exciting summer camps. Five year olds should not have yet entered kindergarten.
Each week is themed and will include water play, arts and crafts, games, indoor and
outdoor activities, snacks, songs and stories, an on occasion a guest visitor.
• Child should be potty trained with only the occasional accident in order to
register for Discovery Day Camp. A backpack with extra clothes should be
brought to camp each day along with sunblock. Bug spray is optional.

• Registration deadlines are set so that your young child’s first day of camp is a
good experience and staff has adequate time to prepare for the arrival of your
child. In order to register for the program after the register by date requires
approval, please call Jamie at 847-360-4706 to discuss your options!

Play is often talked about as if it
were a relief from serious learning.
But for children, play is serious
learning. Play is really the work
of childhood.
–Fred Rogers
BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL EXPERIENCE (B.A.S.E.) @
Field House Sports and Fitness Center Grades K–5
Your child will be in the care of highly qualified child care professionals while
learning, playing, and relaxing at the before and after school programs. Activities

and more! Parents will need to make arrangements with Illinois Bus Company at
847-249-4100 to pick up and deliver students to and from program sites.
Registration Fee $10.
The cost of B.A.S.E. depends on the time your child is released from their respective

holidays or any day students do not attend school. Please see W.H.O Trips for programs offered on those days. More information will be provided upon registration
regarding half-days. Call 847-360-4700 for more information. Registration for the
2015/2016 school year begans June 1, 2015 and is ongoing throughout the school
year. We accept subsidized funding or transfers from outside agencies.

Barn Hunt is the fastest growing dog sport in the U.S. The popularity of the
sport has exploded because the dogs and the people have so much fun.
Modern Barn Hunts are not just for dachshunds and terriers anymore. Any
breed, including mixed breeds, may participate. The hunts still involve dogs
seeking out rats, but the rats are encased in protective PVC tubes which are
four inches in diameter. Sign up for this one night experimental class to see if
you and your favorite furry friend like Barn Hunt and may wish to take classes
in the future. Barn Hunt is a great sport for all ages and abilities of dogs.
That goes for people too. Pre-requisite: A Basic Dog Obedience class must be
successfully completed. Pre-registration is required by March 22. To learn
more about Barn Hunt, please go to barnhunt.com.

RALLY OBEDIENCE
AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy® Program
The AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy is an exciting new program designed to get dog
owners and their puppies off to a good start. The AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy
Program is an incentive program for loving dog owners who have taken
the time to take their puppies through a basic training class. How It Works:
When you complete our basic training class (taught by an AKC Approved
CGC Evaluator) with your puppy (up to six months old) your puppy is eligible
to be enrolled in the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Program. You'll attend any puppy or
basic training class at least six weeks. Your instructor will administer the
AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy test during and at the end of the course. We want you
and your puppy to continue learning beyond puppy classes
AKC’s Canine Good Citizen®
This is the next step to take after you and your dog complete the AKC
S.T.A.R. Puppy program. The AKC’s Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Program is
designed to reward dogs who have good manners at home and in the
community. The Canine Good Citizen Program is a two-part program that
emphasizes responsible pet ownership for owners and basic good manners
for dogs. All dogs who pass the ten-step CGC test may receive a certificate
from the American Kennel Club. This test is administered on-site after
completion of the Advanced Dog Obedience program. There is a $10 fee
for AKC or Canine Good Citizen registration. .
Rally combines characteristics of agility and traditional obedience for dogs and
owners into a new fun and challenging sport. Rally Obedience is timed and includes
1-34 performance stations depending on the level of participation. It is critiqued by
the instructor who watches for a smooth performance as well as skill in following
the directions at each station. A sign at each station gives instructions to the doghandler team, and each team must execute the station’s particular task within twoto-four feet of the sign. Rally is an opportunity for veteran dogs to remain active
and a chance for shy or antisocial dogs to get experience. Many dogs enjoy this
change from the usual silent heeling of traditional obedience classes as their handlers can clap hands, talk, or whistle to them throughout the entire course in a
dance like flow. This class is not AKC certified. Participating dogs must have already
completed an Advanced Dog Obedience training class. Now your dog has more options for fun and a purpose to utilize that sniffer of his. Our instructor Karin will
teach you and your K9 how to have fun exercising his natural scenting abilities by
hunting either food or toys. The class is great for all types and sizes of dogs, and
great for a dog that is bored and wants to play.
Novice #21003301
This is the beginner level of Rally Obedience. All exercises are performed with the
dog on leash and demonstrate the dog's understanding of basic commands such as
sit, stay, down, and come and heel position.

If Tennis is a sport you are looking to try out or make it a life-long sport, then take
advantage of this opportunity. Both spring and summer will offer you and your children a great tennis experience at an exceptional price. Programs offered by the district are designed by the USTA so learning tennis is fun and developmentally
appropriate. Tennis racquets and tennis balls are provided during youth and adult
tennis programs. Spring tennis programs are held at the Field House Sports and Fitness Center. During the summer, Tennis is held outside at Belvidere Park.
10 and Under/Youth Tennis #20302201
Ages 6-15
Summer Track and Field Camp #20501207
It’s easier than ever to get in the game. Your child will enjoy playing with balls that
bounce lower and move slower through the air, making them easier to hit. Racquets
are sized for small hands, making them easier to grip and swing. Courts are smaller,
so kids can cover them and have more success when they play. Kids have more fun
and want to play more often. Tennis is a sport that gets kids moving, improves
balance, agility and hand-eye coordination, and can teach self-confidence and
self-assurance. Playing tennis, your child can make new friends in a safe, supportive
environment. By getting your kids into the game, you’ll be opening a door to a lifetime of enjoyment!

Waukegan Park District advocates full participation under the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA), which prohibits discrimination in the provision of programs,
services or activities to individuals with disabilities. Every attempt at reasonable
accommodation will be made so that individuals may participate in desired
programs. If you have any questions on accessibility, please contact Mike Trigg,
Superintendent of Parks, our ADA Coordinator, at 847-360-4725.
Waukegan Park District is committed to meeting your unique, individual leisure
needs. Please call us if we can assist you at any time at 847-360-4760. Please
attach a description of any accommodations needed to your registration form.
This procedure will help ensure your enjoyment of our program.
Special Accommodations
It is the responsibility of the parent or participant to notify the District of any
medical, physical and/or mental conditions that may require special consideration
by the District staff. This is for everyone’s protection, and your confidentiality will
be respected.
Resident and Non-Resident Fees
Residents support Waukegan Park District programs, facilities and services through
property taxes. Therefore, residents pay reduced fees and non-residents generally
pay greater fees. Waukegan Park District boundaries encompass areas outside of the
City of Waukegan boundaries. People living within the Park District boundaries pay
taxes to the District and are therefore considered Waukegan Park District residents.
The quickest way to determine your Park District resident status is to check your
residence property tax bill, which lists the park district you pay taxes to or call the
Park District at 847-360-4700.
Participant Behavior Guidelines
Please be advised that fighting, rough play, threatening bodily harm, disorderly
conduct, profanity and disrespect of staff or others are prohibited. Violations may
lead to immediate removal from facility. The Waukegan Park District reserves the
right to revoke membership and/or daily privileges for failure to abide by the rules
and regulations without refund.
Be A Good Neighbor
Photo Policy
Please respect the rights and property of the neighbors living by the parks! A few
reminders:
• Use the sidewalks and pathways when walking to parks. Cutting through
private yards is not appropriate.
• Trees, bushes, fences, etc. should not be used as bathrooms. We suggest
family members use their own bathrooms before visiting parks.
• Trash should be discarded into trash cans in the park. When not put into cans, it
often blows into neighbors’ yards.
• By following these guidelines, your visit can be more enjoyable for everyone.
Please report any vandalism by calling 847-360-4725.
• Our parks are tobacco free.
Photographs and videos are periodically taken of people participating in Park
District programs and activities. All persons registered for Park District programs/
activities or using Park District property thereby agree that any photograph or
video taken by the Park District may be used by the Park District for the promotional
purposes including, but not limited to, posting the photograph/video on the Park
District’s website, and/or its promotional videos, brochures, fliers, and other
publications without additional, prior notice or permission and without
compensation to the participant.
Leave Footprints – Not Trash
We ask people who visit our parks to“leave footprints behind, not trash.”Brown
trash barrels are placed throughout our parks; help us put litter in its place. Please
recycle when available.
Citizen Advisory Committees
Through citizen involvement, the park district has formed several advisory
committees. If you would like to become an active member of a committee,
contact the staff at the phone numbers listed below:
American Independence Festivities Committee
Jay Lerner, 847-782-3622
Cultural Arts Advisory Committee
Claudia Freeman, 847-360-4740
Golf Advisory Committee
Jim Glogovsky, 847-360-4756
Recreation Program Advisory Committee
Jay Lerner, 847-782-3622
Special Recreation Program Advisory Committee
Julie Schneider, 847-360-4762
Pets
Pet owners, please remember that the Park District enforces the “Pooper Scooper”
law. Walk your pet on a leash and clean up after it. No animals are allowed in
playgrounds or fenced areas of any park except for the dog exercise area at Larsen
Nature Preserve.
Park Security Program
When visiting a park you may notice a police officer patrolling the area. The
Waukegan Park District and the City of Waukegan have a cooperative program to
increase security in our park system and facilities. Off-duty police are hired to patrol
parks and routinely walk through the parks, visit programs and assist park users.
Also, throughout the day and night regular police officers make patrols during their
normal shift. If you witness a crime or vandalism occurring in a park or golf course,
please report it immediately to the Waukegan Police Department, 847-360-9000,
or the Waukegan Park District, 847-360-4725. If the incident constitutes an
emergency, please dial 911.
Vandalism
Each year, the Waukegan Park District suffers thousands of dollars worth of damage
from vandalism, and these costs are absorbed by the taxpayers. If you witness
vandalism, please notify the police at 847-599-2608, or call the Parks Department
at 847-360-4725 with any information that could lead to the apprehension of
the vandals.
Editorial Policy
The Waukegan Park District makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all materials
in this brochure. If you find an error, our customer service staff will do their best to
provide accurate and up-to-date information. You may call them at 847-360-4700.

Center, Field House Sports & Fitness Center and Jack Benny Center for the Arts.
Program Changes and Cancellations
• Programs are sometimes cancelled or altered due to low registration or changes in
staff or facility availability.
• You are entitled to a full refund for a program that has been cancelled by the
Park District. Refunds will be issued usually within 7-14 days, in accordance with
our Accounts Payable schedule.
Remember
• Online and mail-in registrations receive priority. If you want to be sure to get

• We do not give refunds for programs after they have started.
• We charge a $10 fee for withdrawing from a program to cover administrative
expenses.
• Residents support Waukegan Park District programs, facilities and services
through property taxes. Therefore, residents pay reduced fees and non-residents
generally pay greater fees. Waukegan Park District boundaries encompass areas
outside of the City of Waukegan boundaries. People living within the Park
District boundaries pay taxes to the District and are therefore considered
Waukegan Park District residents. The quickest way to determine your Park
District resident status is to check your residence property tax bill, which lists the
park district you pay taxes to or call the Park District at 847-782-3300.
• Non-resident fees are the second fee listed in the program description. Resident ($)

Are You Covered?
The Waukegan Park District does not carry medical or accident insurance for
participants in Park District programs. Please review your own personal health
insurance plan to be sure that you and your family have proper coverage.
