        START OFF THE NEW YEAR RIGHT - WHAT’S YOUR RESOLUTION?
                                                       With the New Year come many New Year resolutions.
                                                       Here at the Community Services Department we
                                                       continue to provide activities and facilities to engage you
                                                       in your commitment to the New Year. Whether you
                                                       have set a goal for fitness or mastering a new hobby we
                                                       encourage you to join us in 2010.

                                                       We welcome you to enjoy our parks and outdoor spaces.
                                                       We challenge you to tackle the game of golf at the Ukiah
                                                       Municipal Golf Course. Likewise, we invite you to
                                                       visit the Grace Hudson Museum and the historic Sun
                                                       House. We hope that your New Year will take you to
                                                       one of our many community facilities such as the Ukiah
                                                       Valley Conference Center. And of course we invite you
                                                       to join us as we each renew our commitment to health
                                                       and wellness through a variety of recreation classes and
                                                       activities.

                                                        There is a fantastic diversity in the recreation class
                                                        offerings. We blend traditional classes with new-wave
                                                        classes so that there is something for everyone. From
        aerobics to yoga we have a class for each individual. Aside from class offerings there are a number of
        youth and adult sports leagues.

        The 2010 Winter Spring Recreation Guide highlights what a vibrant community we are! There are
        opportunities for art, sport, recreation and nature all within this small community. These opportunities
        are alive and successful because of our community members. The community members who plan,
        coach, teach, instruct, fundraise, volunteer, maintain, organize and donate to all of the programs and
        facilities in Community Services.

        And so, I have made my New Year resolution. I resolve to continue in providing these successful and
        vital Community Services. I resolve that there will be ways to continue enjoying art, sport, recreation
        and nature during our economic crisis. I will work day-by-day with our community members to
        keep these opportunities alive. I resolve to be creative, community minded and persistent in finding a
        mechanism for funding and staffing all of our activities and facilities. And I invite you to join me!

        On your journey into 2010, I wish you and your family good health.

        Sincerely,


        Katie Merz
        Community Services Supervisor

      in the Activity and Recreation Guide. We are confident that you will experience a better
      “return on investment” than advertising with other publications. Our guide has a sharp
       full color glossy cover and contains seasonal information about recreation and leisure
                           activities throughout inland mendocino County.
