Session 5 Free Week

School has started and we are really getting into the swing of Autumn now! This week begins the Free Week for Session 5, so check out the website for schedules of all your favorite classes, free of charge! Can't get that kind of deal anywhere else.

If you missed it, West Deptford Day was on Saturday, despite some lousy weather reports. Because of the soggy ground, the event was moved to the parking lot in front of Brandemarti Field -- and it was a rousing success! All of our civic organizations were on hand, from scouts to police to library to historical association, as well as our successful sports teams, Little Theatre representatives, and Tiny, Little, Teen, and Miss West Deptford. What a crowd!

As advertised, keep an eye out for the Images of America: West Deptford book to be published around Halloween, written by our own Historical Association. Signings will be available here at RiverWinds later this fall.

Also, want to participate in Scarecrows on Parade? The West Deptford Free Public Library hosts the annual contest for all organizations, groups, and individuals to create and decorate a scarecrow to be displayed on RiverWinds Drive for the month of October! Stop by to sign up or call 856.845.5593.

This week, Discover SCUBA is available this Thursday in the Lap Pool from 7:00 p.m - 9:00 p.m. Try out SCUBA without committing to the Open Water Certification...but we're confident you'll love it! Participants who complete Discover and go on to sign up for the whole cert will receive a discount on their open water check out dives.

This Thursday, residents and non-residents alike can also participate in our silk flower workshop, and come away with a lovely wreath or centerpiece. Bring a friend and get autumnal!

Parents stressed from the back to school rush? Look no further, because Parents' Night Out is back this Friday. From 6:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m., members can leave their kids with our wonderful Child Care staff where they'll participate in a night of games, movies, and pizza, while Mom and Dad can get away from it all for a few hours. A 48-hour notice is required.

Have any great pictures of you and your family participating in any of the fabulous events at RiverWinds? Send us an email at MaskaA@RiverWinds.org and we'll share them with our followers!

Finally, a somber reflection on the ten year anniversary of September 11th. Our country and community were tested in ways rarely experienced, and as ever, West Deptford residents and beyond showed a strength and charity second to none. Let us keep that spirit in our daily lives and remember, we are all in this life together. USA and Eagle Pride!
