November / December 2012

Creating Community Through People, Parks and Programs

Lots Going OnHi Everyone,We've had lots happening at the SCC the past couple of months: some have been entertaining, others informative, and some have just been a lot of fun. It was nice to see new faces at the brunch in September and hope they will be returning.In the next few months we will have several new programs, a magical afternoon with the grandkids, a visit from an Asian elephant, and Abe Lincoln will be stopping by. Don’t forget our terrific Holiday Luncheon at the Windows on the Green at Hidden Creek Park (GEEAA). You will find information about these and other events in this issue of the Scoop or call 346-3910 for more information.

Time to Share with the Giving Tree

Springdale Community Center members have always been very generous during the holiday season. Again this year we will partner with the City of Springdale through S.O.S. (Springdale Offering Support) to provide gifts for less fortunate children within our community. A Giving Tree will be set-up in the Community Center lobby. Each ornament will have the name of a child and an item that he/she has requested. If you would like to participate, select

an ornament and purchase the item written on the ornament. Return the item to

the SCC (wrapped or unwrapped) with ornament attached by Friday, December 7.

If you have any questions, please call 346-3910.
