ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
Lucy Simon began her gymnastics training as a child while living in Napa. At her first competitive meet she placed first in the uneven parallel bars and was hooked for life. She continued training and competing through High School and qualified for the California State Champion Meet. There she placed in the top 6 of every event. Lucy continued her training in college but refrained from competing.
While working towards her B. A. she also trained in Rhythmic Gymnastics and Trampoline. Former competitive gymnast, Lucy Simon has been sharing her love of gymnastics through teaching. She has taught gymnastics for the Napa Recreation Department, and the Y. M. C. A. Lucy was also employed by the Dixie School District for 11 years as their P. E. and Health Specialist. Currently, Lucy teaches in several Marin County locations. She teaches Tap Dance to adults, seniors and children and Gymnastics to children ages 3 and older. Lucy has been involved with the Corte Madera Parks and Recreation Gymnastics Program for over 15 years.
OUR MISSION:
To be an After School program that implements genuine care, respect and courtesy for children, parents and each other. To be the premiere provider of childcare, while meeting the needs of children, parents, schools and communities we serve. To enhance and enrich the lives of children as they become young adults, while working
as a team toward common goals.
If you are a parent, read this:
The years between 5 and 13 represent a time of
great growth and opportunity for children, as
well as considerable vulnerability and risk. After the school bell rings and before parents are home from their workday, children need
programs that provide enrichment opportunities and minimize their exposure to risk.
FEES AND SCHEDULES
Kindergartners $31

Parks & Recreation Benefits Youth and Public Safety
There are more then 10 million households in California, 36% of them with children under 18 years of age. Now, consider that 40% of their time is open to choices– positive or negative. Fact: Parks and recreation provide more activities for youth than any one else in town except for schools. Kids Club benefi ts our children by giving them positive and constructive activities after school. We strive to strengthen safety and security of our children. Corte Madera Parks and Recreation values inclusivity, accessibility , diversity of experience, spirituality, lifelong learning, service to the community, environmental stewardship, personal development, healthy lifestyles, professional growth and fun.

BUSHIDO – THE WAY OF THE WARRIOR/SCHOLAR
AGES 7-12
With a fine blend of martial arts steeped in Japanese tradition, the Bushido classes welcome students of all abilities at any time.Based in Shotokan Karate with flavors of Aikido, JuJitsu, as well as traditional weapons, students learn enhanced awareness, focus, breathing, and a sense of centered-ness. Karate is a traditional art form, often viewed as linear. Aikido focuses on the “flow” of energy and allows for an almost effortless response to an attack in its more circular style. And JuJitsu emphasizes holds and joint locks, again allowing for control without excessive force. Weapons allow students to learn about history while developing control and a respect for self and others. At the heart of the training is indi-vidual growth and development. Since competition is NOT stressed, students asses their progress against themselves, individually. Truly the original “mixed martial art,” Bushido classes have been taught through Corte Madera Parks and Recreation for almost three decades! Bushido blends the best of the martial arts, builds on individu-al/personal strengths, and focus on “choice” as the strongest defensive strategy.Join us for any or all of our classes held three times each week!

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
Sensei Wayne, fourth degree black belt, found
the study of martial arts as a youth growing up in
Southern California. At 12, he trained in Kung Fu
and, while in high school, he engaged in the study of
Aikido. These arts are the “softer” or “circular” styles
and as Wayne entered college at UC Riverside, he
included the more linear Shotokan style of Karate to
his repertoire. Wayne began working on his graduate
studies in San Francisco. There, he found The Bushido Dojos where
the blend of his martial arts history came together. Since 1983, he
has been teaching Bushido classes for youth and beginning adults
through the Corte Madera Parks and Recreation. Wayne’s children
are all enthusiastic about Bushido. Dr. Pernell makes his home in
Benicia and maintains a practice for management consultation and
executive coaching in Novato, California.

PATIO RENOVATION
Renovating the Patio Garden at the Rec Center...
A Partnership Project Initiated by the Corte Madera Community Foundation
The Corte Madera Community Foundation is excited to announce a major community initiative. We are partnering with the Town of Corte Madera and three other local civic organizations to help repair and renovate the patio at the Town's Recreation Center, to make it more useful and attractive.deductible donations to the Corte Madera Community Foundation, a nonprofit, tax-exempt charitable organization.
We are asking the citizens of Corte Madera and other users to participtqae in this worthy project through their tax-deductible donations to the Corte Madera Community Foundation, a non-profit, tax-exempt charitable organization.
Our mission is to preserve the small-town character of Corte Madera. None of it could happen without the
generous donations we receive from public-spirited citizens and businesses. And that's why we are so excited
about this initiative. The Recreation Center has long been a gathering place for local meetings and social events.
While still structurally sound, the building itself is tired. The Town has allocated some money from state grants that
will be used for improvements on the interior of the building. We are focusing our efforts on the outdoor space, the
lawn and deck linked to the main room by sliding glass doors. The existing deck has deteriorated and must be removed soon, requiring improvements to the floor area of the patio.
We are currently reviewing plans that would, among other things, create a much better link between the indoor and the outdoor space; install an outdoor cooking feature with built-in barbecue grill, countertops, and seating wall; build a small fountain to provide visual focus; mask road noise; and provide access into the park via new gates. None of it has been finalized, everything will be reviewed with the Town, but our initial meetings have generated tremendous enthusiasm and interest.
The current economic climate and the pending State budget cuts have placed the Town in a very difficult fiscal situation. There is simply no money in the general fund to pay for any of these improvements. Given this situation, your generosity is the only thing that can help make this plan a reality.
I hope you will join us in helping to make these renovations to the patio at the Rec Center possible by sending your tax-deductible contribution to the Corte Madera Community Foundation at P.O. Box 7109, Corte Madera CA 94976, or by using the PATIO RENOVATION PROJECT link at www.cortemaderacommunityfoundation.org.
Please feel free to contact us at CMCFoundation@comcast.net if you want to know more or would like to donate time and energy to this project. We invite you to use the form below to make a special donation by purchasing a brick paver inscribed with your name or the name of family member, friend, or organization with which you are affiliated. It also is an ideal holiday gift for someone you wish to honor.
