REC It Your Way!

A Message From The Director
We’ve had a pretty busy year so far, with the opening of our new aquatic facility, the skate board park, and the picnic pavilion at the Betty Queen Center, but we’re not done yet! Labor Day weekend won’t be the end of summer for us - we are keeping the Aquatic Facility open on weekends through September, weather permitting. The pavilion will be open for picnics, and the skate park will be open until dark to give teens a place to hang out and get some exercise after school. We will also be adding a playground this fall at the same location, giving families even more opportunities to recreate together.

With gas prices as they are, you don’t need to go far to find fun and interesting ways to fill your days...right here in Louisa County. If you can’t get outdoors, but want to keep active, why not try one of our yoga, aerobics, or martial arts classes, come play volleyball or basketball, or take up line dancing or ballroom dancing? We’ve added a weekend open gym for those of you who want to hit the court and get some exercise on Sunday afternoons. You can explore your creative side with guitar lessons or learning about the world of herbs. Maybe this fall you’d like to finally master the computer; we’ve got those classes too. KidzQuest and Kidz in Motion are terrific for keeping the kids active and assisting with your after school child care needs. We even have wrestling, karate, cheerleading, basketball, dances and skate trips to help you keep the kids entertained. Our teen center will be open again for your Middle School teens who aren’t quite ready to be left home alone. We have losts of cool things planned for them; and even some tutoring homework assistance. And let’s not forget our special events for the fall. We have the Fall Festival, Breakfast With Santa, and of course, the Louisa Christmas Parade and Festival. Everything you could possibly want to Rec It Your Way!

We know the days will soon be getting shorter, the temperatures will be dropping, and that joyous yet stressful holiday season is right around the corner. We hope you will still find the time to take care of yourself in spite of the many demands on your time. Don’t forget, recreation is key to balancing all the demands and stresses of our lives and it truly helps to rejuvenate the mind and body. Let us help you find that key as you continue to Rec It Your Way! for the remainder of 2008.
