Westmont Park District Senior Newsletter (630) 969-8080 www.wpd4fun.org 

Although summer will be winding down soon and the kids will be 

back in school, I am looking forward to the arrival of fall. Fall is 

an amazing season full of many changing colors and full of life. 

Like the artist, we are painting with these different colors and 

varying the scene drastically. Our latest edition of the “Young At 

Heart” is a colorful blend of new and old activities and places to 

visit. Perhaps you will try something new; sing in our chorus, 

take a computer class, join the walking club or travel with us. 

Whatever you choose, we hope you will come celebrate the 

beauty of fall at the Westmont Park District. As always, I invite 

you to stop in and share your comments and suggestions. See 

you around the park. 

~Alice 

“A man‟s home is his castle” the saying goes. It‟s the brick and 

stone that surrounds you with warmth, comfort, familiar faces and 

joyous times. Just the frame of a building stands strong with your 

departures and waits for your return. Years of rain, wind and 

snowstorms give the structure more character and charm. From 

time to time, it may get an addition, a new roof or a shiny coat of 

paint, but it will be there for decades. The Westmont Park District 

buildings are places you can always call “home” just by 

registering. They start out with daily activities such as golf, art, 

movies, trips, music, art, walking, dance, clubs and cards. They 

house meetings and make memories. These buildings have 

created lasting friendships, and given people a new 

independence. Drop in any time, because the welcome mat is out 

and our doors are always open. We may even have a pot of 

coffee or tea simmering! 

Love and Hugs, Linda

Program 

Fees 

We are sponsored by the Westmont Park District; therefore, 

Westmont residents are contributing part of their tax dollars 

to the Park District. This is the reason residents have 

priority in program registration. Everyone, regardless of 

residence, is welcome at our programs; however, there is an 

extra charge for non-residents. 

Refunds 

We will make every attempt to refund money whenever 

possible. Trips that require pre-payment will be 

non-refundable unless a replacement for your space can be 

found, either by you or by us. The actual refund will not be 

processed until after the date of the trip. If the Park District 

cancels the trip, you will always be refunded. 

Waiver 

Policy 

When you register for any Park District event, class or trip, 

you are asked to sign a waiver. Basically, what you are 

doing when you sign the waiver is releasing all claims for 

injuries which might possibly be sustained while participating 

in a Park District program. What it means for you is that 

unless you sign the waiver, attendance at the program will 

be denied. 

Newsletter

Dear Friends, 

We want to thank you for your participation and 

attendance at all of our classes, programs, 

events and trips! We understand that things may be a bit more difficult at this 

time because of the economy, but we want you to know that we will continue to 

make every effort to keep our trips as affordable as possible. 

Please understand that the cost of each trip is carefully calculated to cover all 

costs: admission, meal, gratuity, transportation (time and distance), tolls, parking 

and service fees. In addition, we will continue to try and offer different trips at 

different price levels to accommodate all budgets. 

Should you ever have a question regarding any of our events, trips or fees, 

please let one of us know. Again, thanks for your involvement with the Westmont 

Park District!

For Your 

Information 

Page 23 


Important Information Regarding 

Physical Activity on our Trips 

At the end of the description of the trip, you will find either „light, moderate or heavy‟ 

physical activity plus some information on whether or not stairs are involved. What we 

are trying to convey to you is the amount of walking on the particular trip, including 

stairs so you can more accurately judge for yourself if this is the appropriate outing for 

you. 

All of our trips are older, adult-oriented...we do not offer any triathlons! However, 

everyone has varying degrees of operational physical skills. For example, a theatre 

trip would be „light‟ physical activity whereas a baseball game would be „heavy.‟ If you 

ever need more information regarding physical activity on a trip, please call 

Alice at (630) 969-8080 ext. 104. 

On the same subject of physical activity, please ALWAYS let us know beforehand if 

you will be needing 1-on-1 attention, and we will provide for more than 1 escort. If you 

do not let us know before, we may not be able to provide you with the appropriate 

attention, since not all of our trips are escorted by two persons. 

Important Parking Information 

If you have handicapped license plates or the handicapped 

card in your car, and you are going to park in one of our lots for 

a trip 4 hours or more, please use a space as close as possible 

to the building but kindly leave the handicapped spots open. 

We ask this out of consideration for others who may need the 

spot just for a short time. We appreciate it! 

When attending a day trip, please use the parking lot either on the east side or west 

side of The Community Center. This is the building from which the bus departs at 

75 E. Richmond St.

VIKING SHIP & HISTORIC GENEVA, IL 

Did you know we have a Viking ship in Geneva, IL? Our day begins at Good

Wedding singer at the armory 

For the very first time we are traveling to the Armory in Janesville, Wisconsin for 

a fun musical comedy --The Wedding Singer! This is a hilarious tale of a

the party until his own fiancée leaves him at the altar. Devastated, he makes 

every wedding as disastrous as his own. 

The Armory, built in the 1930‟s, features stunning brickwork, terrazzo floors and 

decorative ironwork. It served as a mustering center for soldiers during WWII 

and has now been turned into a state-of-the-art dinner theater. Before the 

show, we will be treated to an exquisite three course lunch featuring soup or 

salad, choice of entrée, dessert and a beverage. Very seldom do we get to
