Can you believe Christmas is this week and 2009 will be here 12 days?
The Community Centers will be changing their hours and classes to accommodate the upcoming Christmas break.
All three community centers are now on extended hours from 12 noon until 7 p.m. Monday through Friday until January 5th. On Saturdays, the centers will keep their regularly scheduled hours for operation. This would be an excellent time to visit the weight rooms, racquetball courts, game rooms and computer labs which will also be open during the holiday schedule at all community centers.
The Crow Center’s Youth Indoor Soccer begins on January 10th. The cost is $25 for eight weeks with the purchase of a $5.00 center ID card. Class times will be scheduled for the different age categories on Saturdays from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Call the Crow Community Center at 931-647-3071 to see how you can register your child for this program.

Also until January 5th, the Adult Full Court Basketball will be on Mondays from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. and the Men’s Basketball League will play on Tuesday nights instead of Thursday. Each coach has a schedule and players can contact their coaches for more information.
Burt-Cobb Volleyball will take place on Wednesdays from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. instead of 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. until the New Year.

Santa and Mrs. Clause have already made their visits to McGregor Park and therefore have returned to the North Pole to get ready for deliveries this Christmas. They asked me to pass along a very Merry Christmas to you all and they’ll see you next year!
