FITNESS CLASSES
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING FOR
IMPORTANT CHANGES TO THE GRAND DOMINION FITNESS CLASS PROGRAM
In an effort to increase our fitness class participation and provide the best possible and affordable fitness class program, our Fitness Class Registration Procedure will be undergoing some changes. On July 1st, we implemented a
FITNESS CLASS PUNCH CARD SYSTEM.
Please note the following:
THE FITNESS CLASS PUNCH CARD SYSTEM WORKS AS FOLLOWS:
Ø Cards will be sold at the front desk - $40.00 for 10 classes (or punches).
Ø Punch cards can be used for any class type and combination with the exception of the S.T.A.B.L.E. Balance Classes.
Ø The fees for the S.T.A.B.L.E. Balance classes will remain at $1.00 per class and that fee will be paid directly to the instructors from Grayslake Rehabilitation at the beginning of the class. No pre-registration will be necessary.
Ø Punch cards will not be used for the S.T.A.B.L.E. classes.
Ø Cards are non-transferable and can be used by only one resident.
Ø At this time, expiration dates are not applicable.
Ø Residents without a punch card can attend any class for a $5.00 drop-in fee.
Ø No Pre-Registration will be necessary for residents using a punch card or paying the $5 drop-in fee.
Ø The Front desk will no longer take any money or handle any registration – Registration will be done by the instructors in each class - they will take attendance, punch the cards and take any money for the drop-in fee of $5.
Ø Classes will be held regardless of number of participants. Classes will be held as scheduled unless advance notification has been made or emergency purposes dictate cancellation.
Ø This system is being implemented on a trial basis, will be evaluated at the end of the year and is subject to changes at that time if continued subsidization is necessary to fund instructor fees.
For more information other inquiries,
please contact the Lifestyle Director, Tracy Citrano.
We hope the new system will be equally beneficial for all involved.
Thank for your patience and cooperation during this transition period.

LONGEVITY AND THE SPIRIT: The Giving Spirit
“There is spirit in the community. It can be seen in the way people greet one another and the ways they show they care. It can be seen in smiles and in warm glances. It lives in many unseen acts of kindness… It is true that each one contributes to the community spirit every day. It is also true that in sharing your goodness, you will receive more than you have given.
This is how spirit works in communities.”

FITNESS CLASSES
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING FOR
IMPORTANT CHANGES TO THE GRAND DOMINION FITNESS CLASS PROGRAM
In an effort to increase our fitness class participation and provide the best possible and affordable fitness class program, our Fitness Class Registration Procedure will be undergoing some changes. On July 1st, we implemented a
FITNESS CLASS PUNCH CARD SYSTEM.
Please note the following:
THE FITNESS CLASS PUNCH CARD SYSTEM WORKS AS FOLLOWS:
Ø Cards will be sold at the front desk - $40.00 for 10 classes (or punches).
Ø Punch cards can be used for any class type and combination with the exception of the S.T.A.B.L.E. Balance Classes.
Ø The fees for the S.T.A.B.L.E. Balance classes will remain at $1.00 per class and that fee will be paid directly to the instructors from Grayslake Rehabilitation at the beginning of the class. No pre-registration will be necessary.
Ø Punch cards will not be used for the S.T.A.B.L.E. classes.
Ø Cards are non-transferable and can be used by only one resident.
Ø At this time, expiration dates are not applicable.
Ø Residents without a punch card can attend any class for a $5.00 drop-in fee.
Ø No Pre-Registration will be necessary for residents using a punch card or paying the $5 drop-in fee.
Ø The Front desk will no longer take any money or handle any registration – Registration will be done by the instructors in each class - they will take attendance, punch the cards and take any money for the drop-in fee of $5.
Ø Classes will be held regardless of number of participants. Classes will be held as scheduled unless advance notification has been made or emergency purposes dictate cancellation.
Ø This system is being implemented on a trial basis, will be evaluated at the end of the year and is subject to changes at that time if continued subsidization is necessary to fund instructor fees.
For more information other inquiries,
please contact the Lifestyle Director, Tracy Citrano.
We hope the new system will be equally beneficial for all involved.
Thank for your patience and cooperation during this transition period.

Presented by the Grand Dominion Singers
Sunday, August 14th, 2:30pm – Cost is $5.00 per person – TICKETS GO ON SALE AT THE FRONT DESK ON FRIDAY, JULY 15TH
A Message from Martha Swan, the Choir Director…
The "Grand Dominion Singers" are proud to present "A Salute to America" on Sunday, August 14th at 2:30 pm. The first half of the concert will include standards including "Chicago", "New York, New York", "Annie", "Come on Get Happy" and "My Favorite Things". The second half of the concert will be dedicated to the men and women who lost their lives 10 years ago in the attack on our nation on September 11, 2001. We will also salute all the men and women who have served our nation proudly in our various armed forces through all the wars and conflicts across the years. They all have one mission... to keep our country free! And for that we'd like to show our appreciation. We'd like to encourage all veterans to wear an insignia (cap, metals, uniforms, etc) that represents the branch you served so we may recognize you.
During this concert, we'd like to introduce you to a fabulously talented accompanist that is helping us out for this concert since Edie Kayne resigned. His name is Wyeth Duncan who comes to us from Gurnee. Wyeth was available to accompany us while he is on break as an Adjunct Faculty Piano Accompanist and Choral Assistant at the College of Lake County for the past two years. He has a long list of accomplishments and we will be honored to introduce him at the concert. The chorus has been most impressed by Wyeth, his talent and generosity of his assistance. We are very pleased to have him with us for this concert!
Tickets are $5 each and will be available at the front desk beginning Friday, July 15, 2011. Seating is first come, first serve. Doors will open at 2 pm before the concert. Please do NOT enter before that time. Chairs will be provided. Refreshments will be provided by the chorus after the performance. We appreciate the support of the community as we love to perform for you! We devote many hours to provide a wide variety of music and special musical treats for you to keep our performances exciting. As we grow and bring in fine musicians, we also find it necessary to pay some of them for their time as they are outside our community of volunteers. Therefore we have settled on $5 tickets for this and many concerts to come to meet our many expenses in growth. We appreciate your understanding and hope you'll come out for a great afternoon of music and patriotism. See you then...and bring a sweater as the A/C will definitely be on!
Purchase tickets at front desk - $5 per person – SALE STARTS JULY 15TH.

FITNESS CLASSES
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING FOR
IMPORTANT CHANGES TO THE GRAND DOMINION FITNESS CLASS PROGRAM
In an effort to increase our fitness class participation and provide the best possible and affordable fitness class program, our Fitness Class Registration Procedure will be undergoing some changes. On July 1st, we implemented a
FITNESS CLASS PUNCH CARD SYSTEM.
Please note the following:
THE FITNESS CLASS PUNCH CARD SYSTEM WORKS AS FOLLOWS:
Ø Cards will be sold at the front desk - $40.00 for 10 classes (or punches).
Ø Punch cards can be used for any class type and combination with the exception of the S.T.A.B.L.E. Balance Classes.
Ø The fees for the S.T.A.B.L.E. Balance classes will remain at $1.00 per class and that fee will be paid directly to the instructors from Grayslake Rehabilitation at the beginning of the class. No pre-registration will be necessary.
Ø Punch cards will not be used for the S.T.A.B.L.E. classes.
Ø Cards are non-transferable and can be used by only one resident.
Ø At this time, expiration dates are not applicable.
Ø Residents without a punch card can attend any class for a $5.00 drop-in fee.
Ø No Pre-Registration will be necessary for residents using a punch card or paying the $5 drop-in fee.
Ø The Front desk will no longer take any money or handle any registration – Registration will be done by the instructors in each class - they will take attendance, punch the cards and take any money for the drop-in fee of $5.
Ø Classes will be held regardless of number of participants. Classes will be held as scheduled unless advance notification has been made or emergency purposes dictate cancellation.
Ø This system is being implemented on a trial basis, will be evaluated at the end of the year and is subject to changes at that time if continued subsidization is necessary to fund instructor fees.
For more information other inquiries,
please contact the Lifestyle Director, Tracy Citrano.
We hope the new system will be equally beneficial for all involved.
Thank for your patience and cooperation during this transition period.

“A Salute to America” CHORAL CONCERT
Presented by the Grand Dominion Singers
Sunday, August 14th, 2:30pm – Cost is $5.00 per person – TICKETS GO ON SALE AT THE FRONT DESK ON FRIDAY, JULY 15TH
A Message from Martha Swan, the Choir Director…
The "Grand Dominion Singers" are proud to present "A Salute to America" on Sunday, August 14th at 2:30 pm. The first half of the concert will include standards including "Chicago", "New York, New York", "Annie", "Come on Get Happy" and "My Favorite Things". The second half of the concert will be dedicated to the men and women who lost their lives 10 years ago in the attack on our nation on September 11, 2001. We will also salute all the men and women who have served our nation proudly in our various armed forces through all the wars and conflicts across the years. They all have one mission... to keep our country free! And for that we'd like to show our appreciation. We'd like to encourage all veterans to wear an insignia (cap, metals, uniforms, etc) that represents the branch you served so we may recognize you.
During this concert, we'd like to introduce you to a fabulously talented accompanist that is helping us out for this concert since Edie Kayne resigned. His name is Wyeth Duncan who comes to us from Gurnee. Wyeth was available to accompany us while he is on break as an Adjunct Faculty Piano Accompanist and Choral Assistant at the College of Lake County for the past two years. He has a long list of accomplishments and we will be honored to introduce him at the concert. The chorus has been most impressed by Wyeth, his talent and generosity of his assistance. We are very pleased to have him with us for this concert!
Tickets are $5 each and will be available at the front desk beginning Friday, July 15, 2011. Seating is first come, first serve. Doors will open at 2 pm before the concert. Please do NOT enter before that time. Chairs will be provided. Refreshments will be provided by the chorus after the performance. We appreciate the support of the community as we love to perform for you! We devote many hours to provide a wide variety of music and special musical treats for you to keep our performances exciting. As we grow and bring in fine musicians, we also find it necessary to pay some of them for their time as they are outside our community of volunteers. Therefore we have settled on $5 tickets for this and many concerts to come to meet our many expenses in growth. We appreciate your understanding and hope you'll come out for a great afternoon of music and patriotism. See you then...and bring a sweater as the A/C will definitely be on!
Purchase tickets at front desk - $5 per person – SALE STARTS JULY 15TH.
