Fall 2011

Dear Montgomery County Resident:

As the days get shorter and the temperatures begin to drop, it is the

perfect time to start thinking about indoor activities and ways to continue to stay active.

Look inside this issue of the Fall 2011 Recreation and Parks Guide and you will find

hundreds of ideas that will keep you moving and learning.

Our Recreation staff has worked hard to put together an assortment of programs and

classes that appeal to a wide range of ages and interests. With everything from swim

classes for youngsters to fitness programs for adults and day trips for seniors, there is

definitely something for everyone.

In addition to the many classes and programs the Department of Recreation offers, there

are special events and activities for the entire family to enjoy. Don’t miss the annual Silver

Spring Jazz Festival on Saturday, September 10 from 3:30 to 9 p.m. at the Silver Spring

Civic Building at Veterans Plaza. This year promises another stellar line up of jazz

musicians, so mark your calendars now and plan on coming to downtown Silver Spring

for an afternoon and evening of top notch musical entertainment.

Montgomery County has 19 community recreation centers that offer all kinds of

recreational activities – from fitness classes to sports league play. Find the center closest

to you and check out what’s going on. And, if you haven’t seen our newest center, plan

on dropping by the Mid-County Community Recreation Center on Queensguard Road in

Silver Spring. I am extremely proud of this new center and I know you will agree that it is

a beautiful facility with much to offer.

I encourage you to take time to look through this issue of the Guide and sign up for one

of the programs or activities being offered. I look forward to seeing many of you out and

about in the coming months at one of our many facilities or programs.

Sincerely,

Isiah Leggett

County Executive

LEED certified buildings cost less to operate and maintain; are energy- and water-efficient; are healthier and safer for employees and customers; and are a physical demonstration of the green values of the Montgomery County Government and the Recreation Department. The Mid County Recreation Center includes innovative green features such as a geothermal heating and cooling system. It’s so green there’s even reserved parking for carpools and hybrid vehicles!

Meet the Mid County DirectorThe Director of the Mid County Community Center is Ingrid St. Villier. Ingrid has been a part of the Montgomery County Recreation for as long as she can remember. She attended Rec Department summer programs as a child, then later worked as a camps staff member.

After graduation from American University and a stint working in the criminal justice field, she returned to Montgomery County Recreation, working with our programs for teens. In 2005, she was appointed the Director of the Lawton Community Center in Chevy Chase. Last year, she was named to be the Director of the Mid County Community Center and worked behind the scenes as the Center was getting ready to open. Now that the Center is open, she continues to bring that same dynamic spirit to the Mid County Community. Stop by Mid County and say hi to Ingrid!

About the Montgomery County Senior Luncheon ProgramAdequate nutrition is critical to the health, functioning, and quality of life of everyone. It is an important component of home and community-based services for older people. This US Administration on Aging funded program improves the dietary intakes of participants and offers participants opportunities to form new friendships and create support networks. The legislative intent is to make community-based services available to aging in place adults who may be at risk of losing their independence. Meals served under the program provide at least one-third of the recommended dietary allowances established by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences, as well as the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, issued by the Secretaries of Departments of Health and Human Services. Menus are available at each Nutrition Program site. Lunch reservations must be made two working days in advance. Cancellations should be made directly to the site manager. A volunteer contribution is requested from persons age 60 and over. The cost of the meal is $5.92. Contributions are used to purchase more meals. Participants are asked to contribute what they can.

For more information on The Miracle League visit

montgomerycountymd.gov/rec.

The Miracle League gives hundreds of disabled children

something few dreamed possible ... the chance to play baseball.

The custom-designed ballfield, located in South Germantown Park, incorporates a cushioned synthetic turf that accommodates wheelchairs and other walking

assistance devices, while helping prevent injuries.

During each Miracle League game, every child is given an opportunity to hit the ball and score a run. Miracle League team members are assigned “buddies” who

assist them in hitting the ball and “running” the bases. Buddies can be fellow schoolmates, parents, college students, business leaders or anyone who wishes to

volunteer their time to give a child the gift of baseball.

A level-playing field where physically and mentally challenged children can hit, run, & catch - just like the best of them.

USTA 10 and Under Tennis This ground-breaking new program from the United States Tennis Association (USTA) gives kids age 10 andunder the opportunity to learn real tennis... and have real fun doing it!d

Using the QuickStart Tennis play format, the classes use racquets, balls and courts that are sized right for kids so that they learn, rally, play, compete and enjoy the game rightfrom the start. The courts are smaller (but still to scale); the balls are lighter, slower-moving and easier to hit; and racquets are smaller and lighter. It’s not remedial and notjust for beginners--it’s real tennis, tailored to a child’s size (just like other youth sports like soccer, basketball and baseball have done for years).

All classes include warm-up and cool- down activities, skill review and practice, and team games that reinforce tennis skills and tactics. For more information, visit www.10andUnderTennis.com, and sign up for a class today at www.ParkPASS.org

Beginner TennisDesigned for students who have never played tennis.You’ll learn warm-up exercises, how to properly grip a racquet; basic stroke techniques for forehands,backhands, volleys, serves and overheads; tennisetiquette and vocabulary; as well as safety rules and how to keep score.

• Beginner, USTAWe’ve taken the exciting new “10 and Under Tennis” program and adapted it for kids 11-13 who want to learn tennis. The difference between this and other beginning tennis programs? Everything is right-sized for these ages: racquets are lighter and smaller, balls are less bouncy and easier to hit, and courts are smaller (but proportionate) than adult courts. The benefits are immediate. Within an hour kids are rallying, having fun and psyched for more. They’re playing real tennis and lhaving real fun. See p.151 for more details on “10 andUnder Tennis,” and sign up your 11-13 year-old today!
