PLEASE REGISTER EARLY!
Our activities fill up fast. Due to limited space, there maybe times when not everyone can be accommodated, or programs maybe cancelled due to low enrollment.  Nothing kills a program faster than residents who wait until the last minute to register.  There is a point when a program must be cancelled or modified if there are insufficient registrations. All programs require a high level of coordination, including facility scheduling, staffing, volunteer recruitment and purchasing of supplies.  Please do not wait until the last minute to register!
