Programs, known as “ACES”, but also programs that serve our youth,
teens and adult patrons. You will find so many programs and special
events in this catalog to choose from, that before you know it, you
will be reading the Summer of 2022 Catalog! Don’t miss out on our
newest special event, our Bicycle Poker Run. You will ride along
Route 30 stopping at five different local restaurants and draw a card
in hopes to get the best poker hand! We also have many unique bus
trips to choose from including a ghost tour of the City of Chicago
and some shopping trips to the Chicago Premium Outlet Mall and
Chicago’s Christkindlmarket. Take a trip with us!                                              Ted Schulz, President

The Sanctuary Golf Course was as busy as ever this past Summer.
The warm weather kept the driving range packed with new and
experienced golfers, and the outings kept The Sanctuary staff very
busy. Even though Summer is ending, make sure to check The
Sanctuary website for available Fall driving range and tee times!

Your Parks Maintenance Department is actively ensuring that all of
our 41 park sites are staying beautiful and clean! We held two grand
openings this past summer at Leigh Creek South Park and the Fitness
Court®. These two sites have state of the art equipment for everyone
