Session 6, Week 5

Tis the season! Our lobby is dressed from head to toe in some amazing lights and garland, and we've been pleased to hear that so many of you enjoy our trimming of the halls. The weather is a little messy, but it's a little mild, too, so who's complaining?

We continue to prepare for our Holiday Celebration this Friday at 6:30 p.m. It's free, it's fun, and it's open to the public, so bring the family and enjoy some caroling, crafting, and Santa! Bring your cameras to take that treasured picture of Old Saint Nick.

So what else has been going on around RiverWinds, you might ask? Well, we're thrilled to announce our partnerships with West Chester University, Philadelphia University, Princeton University, Rutgers University, LaSalle University, University of Pennsylvania, Stockton University, Arcadia University, Rosemont College, Saint Joseph's University, and Ursinus University! We are an official internship for all of those schools and are excited to be partnered with so many outstanding schools. Does your school have a Career Services Center that we could connect with? Email us at MaskaA@RiverWinds.org to have your college or university added to our esteemed list, and in the mean time, check out www.RiverWinds.org for details regarding our prestigious internship program.

We finished up our 2011 Health & Safety classes this week, having certified six new lifeguards and a dozen new participants in CPR/AED for the Professional Rescuer and Health Care Provider. The 2012 schedule has also been posted online, and we're already taking registrations for Spring lifeguarding classes. But don't delay! They sell out extraordinarily fast so reserve your spot today.

Our youth holiday craft project begins with a bang tonight, and our December SCUBA program started last night. The 2012 SCUBA schedule is another class already posted and available for sign up. We have some great ideas for Christmas presents, so stop by soon for those gift cards!

Also next week, remember Discover SCUBA on Thursday and Parents' Night Out on Friday: get those last shopping trips out of the way, and we'll help!

We'll be looking for you at RiverWinds, your place for Family, Fun, and Fitness!
