office advising you that you are being enrolled/registered/signed up into this class from the waiting list.

The instructor must clear this information with Missy Rankin, Recreation Supervisor, before anyone

on the waiting list if you attend this class before given permission to attend. We usually wait about a

month (30 days) before we open waiting lists, call you, and allow you to attend the class.) We

appreciate your cooperation.

• If you would like to register for another class, or check for lottery class openings after the drawing, you

can do so starting on May 15th. You can use the credit on your account at that time, or you can save

the credit for any other future class or membership. If you would rather have a refund check mailed to

you instead of having a credit on your account, please call the front office at 860-647-3211 and we

would be happy to process it for you.

• PLEASE NOTE: if at any time after Classes have begun and YOU DO NOT SEE YOUR NAME ON THE

ATTENDANCE SHEET – it means that you should come to the front desk and verify your sign
