                              summer to fall is a rough
                              one. It is a time that we                                                 August 20, Open registration
                              must kick off our flip flops,
find our socks and begin to cram our feet into those
ever-binding shoes for the next few months until we
feel the warmth of the sun again. The only solace I
have is that shorts can still be worn most of the year if
                                                              Table of Contents Fall 2019
the feet are kept warm, and we have a hoodie handy.
When seasons change it can have an affect on people
that some how dismisses the desire to stay positive,
empowered and courageous. Today I’m here to
encourage each of you to dig deep inside yourselves
and find that inner warrior that fights to stay positive.
The inner warrior is that part of you that recognizes,
rejects and defeats the ho-hum negative attitude that         EVENTS pages 3–4                        THEATRE/ART GALLERY page 4
can come when the weather becomes a little gloomy
causing us more time inside. I say, be courageous go
outside jump in a pile of leaves or stomp in a puddle.
I hear that courage is a necessity in life especially if
you want to be successful in relationships, creative
projects or your career. Finding an engaging your
inner warrior lets you be brave, feel empowered and
take risks to try new things that might seem scary. It
helps you to fight boredom by sharpening your mind            LIBRARY PROGRAMS pages 5                5 & UNDER pages 6–13
with a language class, strengthening your body in an
exercise class, indulge in art by visiting our theartre
and gallery or for the kids taking on the name Warrior
through our Junior Warriors Basketball Program.
Our very own Golden State Warriors say there is
strength in numbers. This is so true, find one or
seven others who have found their inner warrior that
can join you this season and vow to keep positive. I
challenge you to come together and find that perfect
activity or program that will help you harness the            YOUTH pages 14–23                       TEEN pages 24–28
strength within to become anew. Take a chance on us
to help you fight the battle of doom and gloom as we
lead you to enjoy the rainbows and sunshine provided
by our world of recreation and arts.
I hope that you take some time this fall to find your
inner warrior and battle for a brighter day by joining
us and participating in the programs and services
offered in this Activity Guide.

       Up in the Sky & Down on the Ground
       Age 18M-3.5Y | Kindermusik With Miss Lindsay Staff
       Kindermusik Level 2: Everyone loves singing and dancing,
       but when you add silly squirrels, dancing dogs, and child-safe
       instruments, it gets even better! This semester, you and your
       child will get "Down on the Ground" together as we sing, move,
       listen, play, and learn about bunnies, squirrels, dogs, and more.
       Then, we'll fire up your child's musical imagination as we explore
       sparkling stars, creative clouds, and many other wonders "Up
       in the Sky". Through it all, you'll be part of a community that
       celebrates your child through singing, dancing, movement,
       and instrument play using our research-based, award-winning
       curriculum. $35 materials fee (required) can be paid in advance on
       our website, www.EastBayKindermusik.com, (or by check or cash
