As I’m writing this note, I realized that tomorrow marks the 1-year anniversary of when the Community Park District shut down to help stop the spread of COVID-19. At that time, we took drastic measures – closing playgrounds, canceling our spring musical performance, and halting program- ming. As we realized it wasn’t going to be “ to slow the spread,” we invested in EPA N-List cleaning supplies and PPE, created an early childhood virtual curriculum, and purchased a hydroxyl radical generator to help clean the air. We reduced programming and staff hours – and through it all, our team continued to create amazing recreational opportunities for our community. Our Ready Teddy Preschool team organized a graduation parade for our students, we were able to provide a full day summer camp for working parents, and thanks to the support and cooperation of our community, we were able to keep our tennis courts open safely throughout the pandemic. Here we are today, preparing to increase our recreational programming for the summer. Our goal is to provide active and healthy opportunities that protect your long-term health and wellbeing, while con- tinuing to address the immediate safety needs brought on by a global pandemic. We are proud of the protocol we put in place over the last year and will take the appropriate measures needed to continue to protect you, your family, and our community. Our programs will remain smaller than in years past, and we will focus on outdoor activity wherever and whenever possible. Please help us in these efforts by remembering the basics:

Please keep your distance As we open the splash pad at Memorial Park and bring back Music Under the Stars this summer, please remember to respect social distancing guidelines. Carry hand sanitizer and a mask with you at all times in case social distancing cannot be observed.

Keep those hands clean! We will continue to incorporate frequent hand washing or sanitizing, especially in our summer camp programs. Please remember to wash your hands before AND after using a park, playground, or at- tending a program.

Stay home if you’re not feeling well This rule isn’t going away. Thanks to the care and responsibility of our program participants and par- ents, not only have we nearly eliminated dangerous viral exposure in our programming, but we have also seen an incredible reduction in the common cold and flu in our classrooms. If you or someone in your household is not feeling well, please stay home.

We are so very excited for a safe and active summer season! If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.

VETERAN’S MEMORIAL

Due to COVID-19, the Annual Veteran’s Memorial Ceremony is going to look a little different in 2021. We will be presenting a Virtual Facebook Live Ceremony to commemorate our Veterans. All are invited to take part in this virtual celebration honoring the brave men and women who have fought and sacrificed for our liberty and freedom. We want all veterans to enjoy the recognition they deserve as safely as possible. PLEASE JOIN US on May 29th, at 11:00 AM (CST) for a Facebook LIVE Memorial Day ceremony from the Veteran’s Memorial featuring our Gold Star Families. Check our Facebook (www.facebook.com/ communityparkdistrict) page for the live feed and more information. Please remember, to keep the families of our Veterans safe, the onsite seating is reserved for Our Gold Star Families who purchased Memorial Bricks during the 2019-2020 season only. The general public may attend virtually.

This year we will be honoring Jack Ryder and the work he did locating 19 KIA soldiers from the La Grange Park area. In 2016, Jack approached the Community Park District about his mission to identify La Grange Park residents who were killed in action during military service so that they may forever be remembered with a place of honor at the Veteran’s Memorial.

The Veterans Memorial was dedicated on September 20, 2014. Our Memorial is unlike many memorials in that it will continue to grow each year as memorial bricks are purchased and placed in the Memorial Plaza. The Community Park District of La Grange Park’s Veterans Memorial was built to honor ALL active duty and military veterans whether they served in times of conflict or times of peace. eW feel that it is important to rec- ognize all of our men and women who have served or are now serving because they never knew what tomor- row would bring as they protected America. There is no better way to honor your favorite active duty or military veteran than by placing a brick in his or her honor in our Plaza. Memorial bricks can be purchased by submitting an order form found on the next page. You can also visit our website and download the form here. If you have any questions you can call the park district office at 708-354- 4580 and speak with Amanda Kennedy. In response to community requests, donors who have purchased a memorial brick for the plaza will have the opportunity to buy a replica brick that can be given as a gift or kept for their own special memorial. Special prices for replica bricks are as follows: 4x8 Bricks are $60.00 and 8x8 Bricks are $75.00. Brick orders are placed once during the year on January 31st as the deadline for all orders. A replica brick order form is avail- able on our website at communityparkdistrict.org
