Winter/Spring 2021
Same book, new look
Providing Recreation & Enrichment for the Residents of
Walworth, Sharon, Fontana, Linn & Delavan Township
A New Perspective
It’s easy to bid farewell to 2020 and not turn back. Maybe it’s too early, but I feel it’s important to
reflect on this dumpster-fire of a year and to take heart the lessons learned as we look forward to a
fresh year.
Myself, I am truly amazed how much I’ve taken for granted. The list is long, but living through the
pandemic has made me appreciate all the things that were taken away. I know you’ll agree, we are
restless to get back to our world pre-outbreak, and I know I’ll welcome it with a renewed outlook and
gratitude.
That said, we are not out of the woods yet, and this will be a challenging winter/spring. We need to
stay vigilant to keep our family, friends and community safe. Just as important, is for you to keep
active mentally and physically. Of course, Big Foot Rec is a great source for fun and enriching programs – and we have many
fresh activities to keep you busy. This is the perfect time to try something new, and you don’t need to look further than these
pages.
Be well, and I hope to see you at the next program, Celebrations!

Recreation Director cathiesenhusen@bigfoot.k12.wi.us Innovative Programming Excellence in 2020 – awarded by the

great job putting this program together. This is now our 4th state
Dean Connley award for programming excellence!
