Holstein Happenings
Feb 1, 2012
Love Month!
There's a lot going on at Holstein Park this February, but here's some news that will help you participate in park programs through the whole coming year.
The Chicago Park District has re-designed its website to REQUIRE users to establish a personal account before signing up for any programs or events. Before registering for Spring programs (Feb. 21), for instance, you should get your account set up in advance. With your account, you will no longer pay for programs via Paypal -- the Park District will have its own system for processing credit cards -- and you will be able to receive text and/or emails about program changes.
Starting on Feb. 6, you will also be able to search the Spring program offerings at Holstein Park more easily. The park district site is www.chicagoparkdistrict.com. Now what's happening closer to home?
Drop-In Yoga - Saturday mornings 9:30-10:30 AM
