Recreation Council Recognition Ceremony Thursday, March 19, 2020
from 11:30am-1:30pm at The Lodge in DesPeres
NOMINATIONS BEING ACCEPTED through February 14th
Have you, or your child, participated in a recreation or leisure program which you feel should be recognized for its outstanding offerings? Have you, or your child, been served by a recreation provider, either a paid staff or a volunteer, that stands out from the rest? Nominate them for a Recreation Council award! So few times do recreation providers, agencies, and volun-teers get recognized for the outstanding work they pro-vide to individuals with disabilities in specialized and/or community-based programs. Here is your chance to recognize an agency or someone you feel has made an outstanding impact in the area of leisure and recre-ation opportunities for individuals with disabilities in our community. If you have any questions about the nomi-nation form or the event, please do not hesitate to con-tact our office at (314) 726-6044. RSVP for the cere-mony no later than March 12th. Nominate an organiza-tion or individual TODAY, but no later than February 14th! The 2020 Annual Recognition Ceremony Nomi-nation Form can be found on page 3.
PIERS Adult Social Group every 4th Friday of the month
Our first ever social meet-up held in December and was attended by 10 FUN & FRIENDLY people who had the best time enjoy-ing a game of PIGMANIA and UNO ATTACK while enjoying some delightful food and beverages. The cafe is a quaint, small lo-cation that is inviting to everyone! This group is
for adults ages 21 and older who want to get out and make friends with people of all social and physical abilities in a “no judgement" zone. Meet other people who enjoy simple group games and love to eat good food! Stay for live music that begins at 7pm. Delicious food and drink is available for purchase if you wish to eat. It's only 3 hours of your life, so come out and give us a try! We want to meet you! When you get there, ask the hostess to seat you with Carol and Inga. Please note that this is an unsupervised social group, so if you need supervision for your own safety, bring a person who knows you.

Applicants must have a developmental disability documented through the Department of Mental Health (Regional Office) & reside in St. Charles County. Funding is based on the program you select, is done on a first-come, first-served basis, and applications are available online or by contacting our office.

If your child has these needs and wants to attend a municipal park operated summer day camp, contact the Recreation Council to apply for funding. You hire & train the person, so your child can attend camp like everyone else. Talk to your child’s para-professional at school to see if they want extra hours in the summer.
