t Basement Jacks
n
i June 3 Basement Jacks started in a basement in Winnetka. The Jacks were named by a friend who plays along with us occasionally, does s
y lots of gigs in bars in the city, and is from Bucktown.
a Members include: Craig Bradley (lead guitar and big corporate lawyer), Bob Ebersole (Keyboards and semi retired ex CEO), Jim Law
d (Vocals and international banker of some type, and yes, he is to blame), John McGrath (Guitar and among less important things Special Events s the best dad on the planet), Brad McLane (Drums and head hunter and all sorts of Village stuff ), Stuart McCrary (Bass Guitar and a e big time consultant about something none of us really understands) and Scott Rodgers (Rhythm Guitar, Vocals, photography and n annoying guy on the bike on Sheridan). d e Johnny Russler and the Beach Bum Band Wednesdays in the Woods W Wednesdays June 10 You can call the Beach Bum Band a “Parrothead band,” because the beach, warm weather, and the island themes parallel much of the ambience that Parrotheads enjoy. But the Beach Bum Band is NOT a Jimmy Buff ett cover band. The band certainly plays plenty of Buff ett favorites, but you’re just as likely to hear music from Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff , Paul Simon, Dick Dale, Jerry Jeff Walker, and many others. They off er variety and entertainment for everyone who enjoys warm weather. Final Say June 17 Final Say was formed in 2007 and is owned and operated by the members of the band Maggie Speaks. Playing over 170 shows a year for the past 9 years, Maggie Speaks found that their demand in the private, corporate, festival and nightclub market far exceeded their availability. In 2006, the members of Maggie Speaks created Spoken Four under the Maggie Speaks umbrella to satisfy this demand, only to realize the demand didn’t stop there. With over 300 shows on the books for Maggie Speaks and Spoken Four in 2007, the members of Maggie Speaks are at it again. The response and continuing increase in demand for both Maggie Speaks and Spoken Four made it an easy decision to introduce Final Say, the latest addition to the Maggie Speaks family, to the public for the 2007-08 season. Final Say is comprised of four of Chicago’s top musicians. The band was designed to completely mirror Maggie Speaks’ stage show, musical repertoire, energy and look. Final Say delivers their performance with the same impeccable customer service that has become a trademark of Maggie Speaks in the music industry. For years, no other band was able to recreate the full rich sound, tight grooves, seamless harmonies, non-stop high energy shows and unmatched professionalism that Maggie Speaks delivered to their clients. Now with the advent of Final Say, clients have another great option to deliver a musical repertoire that extends from the beginning of rock & roll, through today’s hit music. Whether it is alternative, classic rock, soul, Motown, New Wave, Big Hair Rock, R&B, the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, or 90’s. Final Say delivers the right music for any occasion. Let Final Say make your next event a hit! 7th Heaven June 24 Life long friends committed to leaving it all out on the stage, NTD Records recording artists 7th Heaven boasts these and other incredible accomplishments. The band has set attendance records at major night clubs across the tri-state region. Record sales nearing 30,000 units sold and digital off erings are available on iTUNES, Amazon, and such. This is the premier Chicago festival act according to prominent talent buyers in Illinois. The critically acclaimed website “Barstar” refers to 7th Heaven as one of the 3 best bands in Chicago. (They couldn’t or wouldn’t pick just one.) 30 songs in 30 minutes. Believe it can’t be done? WATCH! Dead on renditions of Def Lepard, The Beatles, Bon Jovi, Journey and even U2 are delivered at a frenetic pace driving audiences to literally be dancing in the streets.

Saturday June plays an eclectic mix of music ranging from the 60’s and the 70’s right through up to d today’s hits. The group also performs songs from their 2 original albums. s Wild Daisy July 22 Wild Daisy is THE most energetic, dynamic female-fronted country band in the Chicagoland area. The band plays all the current, upbeat country favorites, with a few pop/rock surprises thrown in. With three amazing singers in Wild Daisy, the audience hears a variety of singing styles. Wild Daisy plays every show with non-stop energy and enthusiasm, with a view to getting the audience engaged and on their feet! This band LOVES to perform and it shows every time they take the stage!

While many of the kids looking to be CiTs have knowledge and experience working with children,
m being a counselor is a lot diff erent than babysitting! CiTs will gain valuable knowledge and view fi rst-hand the levels of responsibility and challenges required to be a camp counselor. Not only that, but they get to have fun—it’s not all work! They will be able to lead, join in, a and play games/activities/crafts with the campers. C
The fi rst two days of camp are absolutely critical and cannot be missed. Regardless of which site you register, these initial days will run r from 9:00am until 3:00pm and be spent in a classroom setting at the Hubbard Woods Shelter (NOT their specifi c campsite) covering e topics such as their current and future responsibilities and expectations as a counselor, children’s games, safety, and dealing with children who might be having a rough day. Basic CPR and fi rst aid will also be taught during this time, but CiTs will not get CPR certifi ed. After m these initial days, each CiT will then shift to their designated camp and be placed with a counselor and group of campers to continue on- site training. At the end of the program each CiT will be evaluated by the camp director. m
u Registration has changed for this program. Each specifi c campsite has a very limited number of spaces available (this number may fl ex based on enrollment) to ensure the best possible program not just for your child, but the campers of the sites they will be attending.

D Park Board Committee meetings are typically held the 2nd Thursday of the month at 5:30 p.m. and Regular Board meetings are held the 4th Thursday of the month. Regular Board meetings begin at 6:30 p.m. at the Winnetka Park District Community Room, P 540 Hibbard Road. For the up-to-date meeting schedule visit www.winpark.org (Park Board Information).
W WPD News In May, the Winnetka Park District will say good-bye to outgoing Commissioners, Richard Pierce and Ed Harney. Both gentlemen were a huge asset to the Park District in their volunteer, elected role. Richard served two full terms between the years, 2007-2015. A voice of calm, Richard served the post of President from 2010-2012. He was instrumental in setting forth the direction of many projects including the Skokie Playfi eld Master Plan and construction. Ed served on the Park board from 2009-2015. Ed has served on several committees in a leadership capacity, but most notable is as Finance Chairperson, working closely with our CFO. Ed continues to utilize his talents to assist the Winnetka Parks Foundation in its revitalization.
Both will be missed on the board level, but we expect that they will still be making vital contributions to the community at-large.
Winnetka Park District Board and staff welcome newly elected commissioners Arthur “Mickey” Archambault and John Peterson to the Board. Look for more information about them in our fall brochure.

Junior Tennis Program “Quick Start Tennis” t The USTA Quickstart Tennis Program is utilized by the professional staff at the A.C. Nielsen Tennis Center throughout the entire junior e program (pages 56-57). r
The principle of Quick Start is to get children playing quickly and appropriately through the use of modifi ed equipment, making the court and equipment smaller, ball slower and considering the needs and developmental stages of children at diff erent ages. Every child, regardless of age, deserved the best possible instruction, to maximize their potential to play. For more information about the program go to the United States Tennis Association (USTA) web site at www.usta.com, and click on Play Now!
