Recreation District Board
   of Commissioners
                                                    Message from Ron Salski,
                                                    Executive Director

                                                    The Mundelein Park and Recreation District continues to
                                                    focus on our patrons’ safety with all our programs, facilities,
                                                    and services. As we navigate the future, the District is ready
                                                    to adapt and adjust while providing a quality park system.
                                                    We delayed some key administrative projects such as a
                                                    community-wide survey and the strategic plan and specific

         President
                                                    to strengthen our park system.

                            Some high points include:
                            • Golf rounds have been steady despite challenging guidelines.
                            • Dance participation remains strong through innovative virtual programs and a
                              planned virtual dance recital.
                            • Diamond Lake Beach and Spray Park have renewed popularity.
                            • Tennis courts were full daily.

                            We will continue to follow the Governor’s Restore Illinois guidelines, so please visit our
       Wallace Frasier      website to view the most recent updates. We’ve noticed more people experiencing our
       Vice President       many beautiful parks. We encourage our residents to walk our paths, enjoy our new
                            Asbury Park playground or resurfaced tennis/basketball courts.

                            We decided to print and deliver the fall brochure since residents continually value the
                            physical copy. Look for the fall brochure in your mailbox in early August.

                            Highlights include:
                            • An expanded youth basketball program for boys and girls (page 30–31)
                            • A continuation of the extremely popular Porch Parties (page 13)
        Pat McGrath         • Restructured Fall Special events to ensure your safety (page 14–15)
         Treasurer          • Spanish programs for children (page 21–22)
                            • Virtual cooking classes and cake camps (page 24)

                            On behalf of the Board of Commissioners, we thank you for your patience during this
                            challenging time. Your virtual and on-site participation plays a crucial role in moving
                            the Mundelein Park & Recreation District forward.

   All aboard! Dress in your jammies and take
   an "imaginary" trip with us to the North Pole!
   Upon entering our imaginary train station
   each child will receive a souvenir Golden
   Train Ticket and activity booklet. Children will
   be seated in the gymnasium 6 ft apart, served hot cocoa and cookies by the "train chefs" as they put on a fun show
   dancing down the "train" isles. We will sing holiday carols and watch a classic holiday movie on the big inflatable
   screen. Bring your letters for Santa as we will have some elves stopping by to grab the letters and pass out a
   small gift to each registered child from Santa. Wait, did someone say Santa? Yes! Although Santa needs to stay at
   the North Pole this year, he will be sending us a very special video message. There will also be a photo booth to
   capture a memory of this magical night. Face coverings are required at this event.
