LISLE RESIDENTS Beginning Saturday, February 1 NONRESIDENTS Beginning Saturday, February 15 1 Lisle Park District Senior Center | 1925 Ohio Street, Lisle (Northeast Entrance) | 630-969-0992 PROGRAM & TRIP INFORMATION | WALKING GUIDE REGISTRATION GUIDELINES Registration accepted in person at the Senior Center, by mail, by phone with credit card payment, or online. Payment due upon registration. Check your receipts! Confirm your program/trip, date, times, locations, meal choices, etc. by verifying your receipt. Receipts may be sent via email, USPS (50¢ fee), or pick-up in person. 'Register by' dates are necessary so that we can meet the deadlines given to us by various venues and vendors. Of course, if the 'register by' date has passed, don’t hesitate to call 630-969-0992 to check the status, as we frequently have cancellations resulting in open seats. Emergency contact cards are available at our office if you wish to provide us with that information. Refund Policy: If the Lisle Park District cancels a trip, a full refund will be credited to your park district account. If you cancel, giving at least two business days notice and the space can be resold, a full credit less a $5 service charge will be applied to your Lisle Park District account; however, we cannot guarantee a resale. If you should prefer a refund to your charge card or receive a check, just let us know. TRIP & PROGRAM GUIDELINES Patron Drop-Off: Please pull into a parking spot to drop-off patrons. Do not stop your car at the entrance of the parking lot, as that causes street backup which is unsafe for all. Parking for day trips is conveniently located just across the sidewalk in the Community Center parking lot or in the middle of the Senior Center parking lot. This gives you easy exit upon our return and frees up the front spots at the Senior Center for patrons visiting the center throughout the day. Also, refrain from parking in lots not owned by the Lisle Park District. Review your receipt! Receipts are important. Be sure to verify all the information that is contained on the receipt, and contact us immediately with any changes or discrepancies. Trips must depart promptly! Please plan to arrive 10 minutes prior to departure to allow for adequate time for check-in and bus loading. Limit the use of perfumes or colognes when traveling with us or participating in park district events to be sensitive to those who may have significant allergies. Silence your cell phone when traveling on our bus or participating in a program at the Senior Center. If you must answer your phone, please move to a location away from the activity and/or keep your conversation to a minimum. No dairy items are allowed on bus trips. All trips are via the Lisle Park District bus unless a motorcoach is specifically mentioned in the trip description. All trips depart from the Senior Center unless a different location is specifically mentioned in the description. WALKING GUIDE FOR TRIPS To assist you in selecting your trips, we include a walking icon with each trip description to indicate the level of physical activity for that specific trip.

As you can see in the box to the right, we expanded our work to include initiatives that address the inequities in Chicago theatre through training that examines the past and imagines a future that is equitable and inclusive. We received a grant from ComEd (renewed for 2019) that provided much needed support to organizations wishing to reach underserved audiences and we created a new website for Hot Tix making it easier for theatres to put shows on Hot Tix and for users to navigate. This year, The league completed our first strategic plan in 10 years.
