October Updates...

Happy Week 6! Remember, Session 5 has seven weeks, so you have all of this week and next week before we tear into Session 6.

Lots of stuff on the calendar this week: the Kids' Craft Workshop will be Tuesday the 16th at 6:30 p.m., where your 6-11 year old can make Scratch Art. The October Discover SCUBA class will be Thursday the 18th at 6:30 p.m., and this month's Parents' Night Out returns Friday at 6:30 p.m. Call 856-251-0990 to sign up yourself or your child!

Have you been loving the scarecrows on RiverWinds Drive? We have! Thanks to a joint effort by the West Deptford Free Public Library and the West Deptford Historical Association, our township civic organizations, businesses, and families have been sprucing up the 1.3 miles to the Community Center, and the efforts are awesome! There's still time to make your own scarecrow, too...just contact the library to sign up. This beaut is courtesty of the West Deptford Junior Women's Club.

Make sure Spookypalooza is on your calendar for 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, October 30th. And don't forget the Holiday Party, as well, scheduled for Friday, December 14th!

Just a heads up, our RiverWinds blog will be taking a bit of a hiatus thru the end of the year. Occasional postings may be made but we look forward to starting up again in the new year fresh and raring to go!

A few reminders...

We're still looking for motivated, creative college upperclassmen to apply for our 2013 Spring internship. Contact Mandee Casey at 856.251.0990 x105 or email KernM@RiverWinds.org for details or to apply. An incredible opportunity awaits the right individual, as does FREE facility membership for the duration of the semester!

We're still accepting a limited number of non-resident memberships! Did you know residents in good standing can sponsor a new family? Check out www.RiverWinds.org for details!

As ever, we look forward to seeing you and yours at the facility!

It's October Already!

Seriously, where does the time go? It's already Week 5 of Session 5. Don't forget, there are seven weeks to this Ssession, so there's still some time to go. But what a Session we've been having!

Our kiddies started out the fall with a bang with Kids' Fitness and Fun and several cooking and craft classes. Who says there's new school year fatigue? We haven't seen a bit of it...these kids are raring to go!

Not to be outdone, the grown-ups have stayed busy since the start of the new school year, with great attendance in Discover SCUBA, the jewelry making workshop, pottery class, oil painting course, and of course, the Italian Festival! We're looking forward to the next few weeks as we start our October Open Water SCUBA certification, host a new kids craft on the 16th, and Parents' Night Out on the 19th!

Naturally, we can't overlook SPOOKYPALOOZA, which is slated to return on the 30th. Every year we get bigger and better and 2012 is already shaping up to be no exception, so get your costumes ready to show off and bring the family! Don't forget, West Deptford Township has an 8:00 p.m. curfew on the 30th and 31st, so make sure you're getting the most out of your evening here at the 'Winds!

We're thrilled to announce that we'll be getting new carpeting throughout the facility in the coming months, so keep an eye out for updates regarding scheduls for our new digs.

Unfortunately, the fireworks scheduled for West Deptford Day that were rained out will NOT be rescheduled this year. We're crossing our fingers that Mother Nature is better behaved next fall!

We're still looking for motivated, creative college upperclassmen to apply for our 2013 Spring internship. Contact Mandee Casey at 856.251.0990 x105 or email KernM@RiverWinds.org for details or to apply. An incredible opportunity awaits the right individual, as does FREE facility membership for the duration of the semester!

Are you loving the scarecrows on RiverWinds Drive? Us, too! Your civic organization, scout troop, business, or organization can make your own, too! Simply contact the West Deptford Free Public Library for a form and help make that 1.3 mile drive a little more festively fall!

FALLing Into a New Session!

It’s Session 5!

School has started, the gridiron is packed, and we finally got a break from that humidity. Fall has arrived, and with it, Session 5 programming.

We have the new program book online at www.RiverWinds.org, packed with exciting new and favorite classic activities for the entire family.

We’re pleased to announce the return of Melissa to Tuesday night 6:30 p.m. spinning! Her maternity leave is over and she’s bursting to get back in the studio – and kick everyone into shape!

Our Swim Lesson schedule is also posted and we are accepting registrations. They begin on Monday the 17^th. If you’re not sure what level your child fits in to, call Cristin at 856-251-0990 x104.

We also are excited to announce the new Unlimited Child Care Pass available to members! This 30-day unlimited pass is $25 per child and is ideal for those who utilize the Child Care area regularly. This Unlimited Pass is a third option, on top of the hourly rate, best for those who are trying Child Care for the first time or for those coming and going with no set schedule, and the $30 Child Care Pass, which is best for those who don’t carry cash on them and/or don’t use the Child Care enough to warrant the purchase of an Unlimited Pass. Not sure which is right for you? Call Debbie at 856-251-0990 x106!

The Italian Heritage Festival will be at RiverWinds on Sunday the 30^th from noon until 6:00 p.m., featuring exhibitors, Italian food, kids’ activities, craft vendors, and more! Call 856-467-0096 with questions.

Don’t forget, we’re still looking for motivated, creative interns in our fitness and administration departments! Email Mandee Casey at KernM@RiverWinds.org or check out the website for specifics…it’s tremendous training in so many fields, and that free facility membership during your tenure with us is quite a perk!

And finally, there are still a few non-resident memberships available, and members in good standing can sponsor individuals and families from outside West Deptford to join for the year! Don’t miss out – take advantage of this extraordinary opportunity while there’s still time!

We look forward to seeing everyone return from vacations and summer activities as we fall back into our school year routines.

See you at the facility!
